Basic and advanced urodynamics in benign prostatic hypertrophy

Abstract

BPH patients may be asymptomatic or symptomatic and the latter with or without obstruction. Symptoms may be independent of the obstruction. The endoscopic or surgical ablation of the enlarged gland has a percentage of failure in all reports. The urodynamics study including uroflowmetry, pressure flow study with application of nomogram for the obstruction provides a certain diagnosis of obstruction in the majority of cases.
