History of cystometry.

A Ek, W E Bradley

    Urology
    |September 1, 1983
    PubMed
    Summary

    Early neurophysiologic studies laid groundwork for understanding micturition (bladder voiding). Modern cystometry, despite advancements, still faces challenges with patient cooperation and relating lab findings to clinical practice.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Neuroscience
    • Medical History

    Background:

    • 19th-century neurophysiologic research by Budge and Goltz provided foundational insights into micturition control.
    • Pioneering studies on bladder pressure and motility by Dubois, Mosso, and Pellacani were crucial.
    • Early development of cystometry by Born and Genouville occurred in the late 19th century.

    Observation:

    • Cystometry development stagnated for decades due to fixation on outdated concepts like "bladder tone" and "crossed innervation."
    • Despite technological progress, modern urodynamic investigations remain dependent on patient compliance and cooperation.
    • Laboratory findings in urodynamics often lack correlation with the actual clinical situation.

    Findings:

    • Budge identified the pontine micturition center, later confirmed by Barrington for its coordinating role.
    • Goltz demonstrated the spinal reflex's role in micturition, a finding initially overlooked by clinicians.
    • Continuously recordable filling cystometry emerged by the late 19th century but faced developmental hurdles.

    Implications:

    • Future advancements in bladder-urethral function monitoring and neurophysiologic electrodiagnostic methods are needed.
    • Reducing reliance on patient compliance is key to improving the clinical relevance of urodynamic testing.
    • A historical perspective on modern cystometry and urodynamics is challenging due to rapid evolution and technological integration.
