Conclusions
Urodynamic testing requires careful attention to detail, both in the selection and counseling of the patient during the test, in performance of the provocation maneuvers, and in analysis of the results, to obtain precise diagnoses of the components of the continence disorder. Unlike an ECG that can be performed by a technician, this test requires a trained clinician in order to yield the maximum information.
