title: [Conditions and indications for urodynamic examinations].
abstract: Urodynamic investigations (UDI) present a new diagnostic method for the research of the physiology, pathophysiology, biomechanics and hydrodynamics of the urine flow. The purpose of UDI is to establish the function of the lower part of the urinary tract, most frequently in the presence of urinary incontinence. They are used in gynecology, urology, neurology, pediatrics, rehabilitation, geriatrics and general surgery. There are absolute and relative indications for UDI. Adequate preparations of the patient are necessary prior to UDI. Exact diagnostics of the impaired function of the lower part of the urinary tract can be maintained only by a complete performance of the UDI objectivity tests. A correct diagnosis will enable adequate therapy.
