A New Concept of Urodynamic Evaluation of the Lower Urinary Tract

Abstract
Urodynamic equipment is presented herein which combines recordings and X-ray. All information is primarily stored on an analogue magnetic tape with display on a multichannel memory oscilloscope. For the suprapubic bladder approach, a Swan Ganz catheter is used after removing the occluding balloon. For the transurethral approach, a specially designed 4-channel membrane catheter is used. The data was analyzed using checklists which were compiled strictly adhering to the ICS suggestions. The purpose of these lists is to offer practitioners and community hospitals standardized terminology in examinations to simplify urodynamic evaluation.
