San Diego, CA USA (UroToday.com) Dianne Glass from New York University presented data from a retrospective study on the role of preoperative urodynamics in patients undergoing surgical correction of pelvic organ prolapse.
In their series of 348 patients patients, urodynamics changed management in 27.3% of patients. The most frequent change in management was planning for a midurethral sling in patients with stress urinary incontinence.
The authors concluded that there may be better methods than urodynamics for evaluating lower urinary tract symptoms in patients with prolapse outside of questions of occult stress incontinence.
