title: [Ultrasonographic study of detrusor thickness in patients with obstruction].
abstract: The diagnostic work up of patients with symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia is not always useful for diagnosing bladder outlet obstruction, especially if they are compared with pressure-flow studies. The authors make a review of the literature and a clinical study to demonstrate that alternative less invasive methods (ultrasound estimated bladder weight) can often replace pressure/flow studies.
