title: [Urodynamics and prolapse].
abstract: Urogenital prolapses have a significant impact on bladder and urethral functions. Bladder outlet obstruction and associated stress urinary incontinence are the most commun findings in this setting. Although the diagnosis of stress urinary incontinence is made by physical examination, urodynamic investigations are crucial to decide the most appropriate treatment for each individual patient. Despite some technical limitations, we recommend that a proper urodynamic investigation should be performed before any surgical intervention for urogenital prolapse.
