Abstract

Urodynamics (UDS) is the term used to describe the functional assessment of the lower urinary tract. UDS objectively assesses dysfunctional bladder filling, storage, and emptying and is a crucial component of the urologic evaluation of patients with neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction (NLUTD). The Madersbacher classification system describes the UDS motor responses of the bladder and external urethral sphincter in voiding and filling phases in NLUTD subjects. UDS allows for the identification of lower urinary tract dysfunction which can guide further management.
