Bladder outlet obstruction in women.
While voiding dysfunction is relatively common in women, true bladder outlet obstruction is a rare condition and may be present in a misleading manner. To make an accurate diagnosis and tailor appropriate treatment, urodynamic investigation is required. However, even sophisticated urodynamic studies have limitations in predicting obstruction as a complication of anti-incontinence surgery and response to ureterolysis.
