title: Urodynamic parameters in preoperative evaluation of patients with bladder tumours.
abstract: Urodynamic evaluation was done in 28 patients with various staged bladder tumours. In 12 patients with superficial bladder tumours all urodynamic parameters were in normal range. Thirteen patients of 16 with invasive bladder tumours had low capacity of bladder and 5 of them also had involuntary contractions. In this study we suggest that urodynamic parameters in patients with bladder tumour became significantly abnormal when the first tumour invasion is seen at the muscular layer of the bladder (p < 0.05); so compliance significantly decreased and the other pathological conditions were followed (p < 0.05).
