[The diagnostic approach in neurourology].
This chapter is designed to propose an analysis of the diagnostic approach in neurourology based on classifications of neurogenic bladder and the therapeutic objectives to be achieved. Based on this analysis, a diagnostic flow-chart is proposed to be used as a guide in the multidisciplinary discussion and to allow a standardized approach. The surgical specificities of neurourology require certain rules of preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative management, regardless of the type of surgery performed. These rules are summarized and should constitute practice guidelines in this field.
