Uroflowmetry with simultaneous electromyography versus voiding video cystourethrography.
OBJECTIVES: Urethral dysfunction may lead to a deterioration of kidney function and be life-threatening. A thorough diagnosis of the pathophysiology is consequently vital to ensure the correct treatment is given. MATERIAL AND METHODS: In this study, 34 adult patients suspected of a urethral etiology giving rise to urinary retention, urgency or chronic lower urinary tract infections were investigated by uroflowmetry with simultaneous electromyography and voiding video cystourethrography. CONCLUSIONS: Both methods proved to be essential for an accurate assessment of the pathological state.
