title: Videourodynamics: indications and technique.
abstract: Videourodynamics combines fluoroscopic voiding cystourethrography with multichannel urodynamics to better evaluate lower urinary tract symptoms. This article reviews current literature and guidelines outlining the indications for obtaining this specialized study as well as technique. Appropriate and judicious use of fluoro-urodynamics lends to improved diagnostic acumen in a well-selected patient population; however, clinicians must be mindful of the added cost, safety concerns, and limitations of its use.
