Abstract:
In this review article, we refer to recent publications dealing with the indication to pressure-volume and pressure-flow studies using cystometry as well as the indication for antibioprophylaxis prior to these examinations. We conclude that despite various indications these examinations must be reserved for complex cases after exhaustive preliminary evaluation. Moreover, in case of complex urinary incontinence or neurogenic bladder videocystomanometry is recommended for a correct and complete diagnosis. In addition, antibiotic prophylaxis is no longer considered as necessary before these examinations, including for neurological patients.
