    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Neurology
    • Medical Technology

    Background:

    • Voiding disturbances affect 20% of urology outpatient visits, with 25% having neurogenic bladder dysfunction.
    • Urodynamics, established over 15 years, now features advanced clinical applications.
    • Fast-flow gas cystometry enables portable, comprehensive urodynamic units.

    Observation:

    • New portable urodynamic units simultaneously record detrusor, urethral, and skeletal muscle sphincter function.
    • This equipment is user-friendly, cost-effective, and can be operated by trained paramedical staff.
    • Over 213 patients were evaluated in a 9-month period at an outpatient urology clinic.

    Findings:

    • Urodynamic evaluation identified and categorized various voiding disturbances.
    • The study compiled data on the incidence of neurogenic bladders within different disturbance groups.
    • Interesting and unusual clinical examples were presented to aid urologists in interpretation.

    Implications:

    • Portable urodynamic units can be conveniently used in urologists' offices.
    • This technology can identify neurological bladder diseases missed by conventional investigations.
    • The equipment may rapidly amortize its cost due to third-party carrier recognition.
