title: Urodynamic evaluation of voiding in women with cystocele.
abstract: To determine the effect of cystocele upon voiding, 30 women with various degrees of genitourinary prolapse were studied. The patients were divided into three groups depending on the severity of the cystocele and were evaluated with uroflowmetry, urethrocystoscopy, water cystometry, urethral pressure profilometry and voiding urethrocystometry. The three groups were similar in most parameters except maximum urethral closure pressure (P less than .05). The patients with cystocele did not demonstrate the abnormal voiding patterns characteristic of outflow obstruction.
