Urodynamics are indicated when the care provider has a question, whose answer affects treatment decisions. Whether adult or child, male or female, neurogenic or non-neurogenic, urodynamics provides objective evidence to explain subjective symptoms. Precise definition of voiding function and dysfunction improves management of the patient with complex voiding dysfunction. This course will cover the indications for, methods for performing, and proper interpretation of simple and complex urodynamic studies for a large range of patients.
