Course Description: Urodynamics are indicated when the care provider has a question whose answer affects treatment decisions. Whether adult or child, male or female, neurogenic or nonneurogenic, 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.

Define the indications for urodynamic techniques.
Interpret the nomenclature of voiding dysfunction.
Define the indications for urodynamics.
Interpret the following: • Uroflowmetry • Filling cystometry • Pressure-flow studies • Urethral pressure profilometry • Video studies • Leak point pressure measurement • Electromyography
