The Use of Urodynamics in the Neurogenic Population: Urodynamic Under the Lens

International Continence Society

Specialist Dialogues in Urodynamics 1: The Use of Urodynamics in the Neurogenic Population. Ulrich Mehnert and Blayne Welk.

The ‘Urodynamics Under the Lens’ content series explores the role, benefits and optimal usage of urodynamics from the personal perspectives of a range of experts in the field. Over recent years, opposing viewpoints in the literature about the value of urodynamics in functional urology have made this a confusing topic for many. This episode aims to dispel misconceptions and encourage reflection.

Future content will include specialist dialogues on the application of urodynamics in specific settings, explore quality assurance in urodynamic practice and provide accessible explanatory content aimed at patients.

Production of this episode has been funded by Laborie. The views and opinions expressed are those of the featured experts and not necessarily those of the ICS or Laborie. Disclosures are available in each expert's ICS profile:
