Abstract

This issue of the Urologic Clinics will focus on urodynamic testing in men, women and special situations. Appropriate urodynamic testing options including video urodynamics, pressure flow studies, and neurogenic voiding discussion will be discussed. Dr. Nitti and Dr. Brucker have assembled well known experts in their fields to provide current clinical information for urodynamic evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment.
