The use of voiding studies (flowmetry and urodynamics) in the assessment and follow-up of patients.
The role of urinary flow measurement and pressure-flow studies in the diagnostic work-up of men presenting with lower urinary tract symptoms suggestive of benign prostatic obstruction is still an unresolved issue. In this paper, evidence from the peer-reviewed literature of the last 12 months is critically reviewed in the light of the recent recommendations of the 4th International Consultation on benign prostatic hyperplasia.
