title: [New aspects of the Heidenreich and Beck perfusion method in urodynamics. I: Practical experience with a complex urodynamic work station].
abstract: 122 patients with urinary incontinence of all degrees and 32 controls are investigated by means of a complex urodynamic unit constructed by the authors. Essential part is a robust selfmade three-canal-catheter of heatsealed angiographic material with an external diameter of 10 Charr., which undamagedly can be used at least forty times. The unit enables to do cystometries and simultaneous cystourethrotonometries with electromyography of pelvic floor and mictiometries. The investigations are possible at a normal expense in lying or sitting and all intermediate positions. Many urometric parameters had been determined with aid of perfusion uromanometry according to the principle of Heidenreich and Beck. New combinations had been elaborated. The functional length of urethra in stress profile, the maximal urethral closing pressure, the electronically registered urethral closure pressure, the depression factor and the stress quotient are of special importance. By means of these criteria the qualification of the apparently old fashioned perfsuion uromanometry for a modern urodynamic diagnosis could be demonstrated. The results are compared with those obtained with microtransducer technique.
