Pitfalls in Urodynamics

Although urodynamics (UDS) is essential for the diagnosis and treatment of neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction, several possible pitfalls can be identified. In this paper we identify pitfalls in UDS and highlight limiting factors. UDS pitfalls that depend on the patient, on the physician, or on the test itself are described and analyzed. PATIENT SUMMARY: In this report we looked into pitfalls of urodynamics. Urodynamics is an essential tool in the diagnosis and treatment of neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction and always requires standardization and quality control to limit possible pitfalls
