Diagnostic procedures in female urology

D R Ostergard, T A McCarthy

    American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology
    |June 15, 1980
    PubMed
    Summary

    New diagnostic tools in gynecologic urology, including urodynamics and urethroscopy, offer dynamic assessments of lower urinary tract function beyond traditional methods. These advanced techniques provide detailed insights but often require specialized equipment.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Gynecology
    • Diagnostic Imaging

    Background:

    • Traditional gynecologic urology diagnostics rely on medical history, physical exams, and the Marshall test.
    • These methods have limitations in fully assessing lower urinary tract (LUT) functional capabilities.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe advanced diagnostic procedures in gynecologic urology.
    • To highlight the shift towards dynamic functional assessments of the LUT.

    Main Methods:

    • Urethroscopy
    • Urodynamics with cystometry
    • Urethral closure pressure profiling
    • Uroflowmetry
    • Pelvic floor electromyography
    • Radiologic imaging

    Main Results:

    • These newer procedures provide a dynamic assessment of LUT functional capabilities.
    • Many advanced techniques are complex and require sophisticated equipment for accurate measurements.

    Conclusions:

    • Gynecologic urology diagnostics have evolved beyond basic assessments.
    • Complex, specialized procedures are necessary for comprehensive LUT functional evaluation.
