Background:

Voiding pressure-flow studies assess urethral resistance and detrusor contractility.
Disentangling these two parameters and evaluating them simply is a clinical challenge.

Purpose of the Study:

To explore methods for disentangling urethral resistance and detrusor contractility.
To evaluate simple, clinically useful methods for assessing these parameters.
To advocate for a standard method for comparing results.

Main Methods:

Analysis of pressure-flow plots during voiding.
Comparison with conventional urodynamic curves.
Review of proposed methods for assessing urethral obstruction.

Main Results:

Related Experiment Videos

Pressure-flow plots offer a useful adjunct to time-based urodynamic curves.
Various proposed methods for assessing obstruction yield similar practical results.
Detrusor contractility assessment methods are available but less studied.

Conclusions:

Standardization of methods is needed for comparing obstruction assessment results.
Further development and standardization of detrusor contractility assessment are beneficial.
