Formative years of the Urodynamics Society: reminiscences.
This paper traces the roots and foundations of the Urodynamics Society as a scientific urologic research society back to the postwar information explosion of the 1950s and 1960s. It describes the then-separate islands of science and urologic practice which gradually became amalgamated through interdisciplinary and crossprofessional collaborations and networks, aided by generous government subsidies and wise university policies.
