Introduction:
Urodynamic studies (UDS) in infants are traditionally hampered by technique and flow collection; both are difficult and have not yet been standardized.
Methods:
A very simple device has been developed to collect urine during the voiding phase in UDS. It is based on a urine-collection adhesive bag, which is connected to a tube that conducts the urine to a flowmeter.
Results:
Eleven infants (4-23 months) were selected and a complete UDS was performed on all of them. A diagnosis was obtained for all of the infants.
Discussion:
This device is easily available in every pediatric clinic; it is also disposable and inexpensive. It enables UDS in infants to be complete and achievable.
