The most highly technological combination of urodynamic studies and visualization of the urinary tract (radiographic or ultrasound). The method was called "video dynamics". It is more convenient to apply X-ray support, since it is non-contact. The video is implanted into the picture of pressure plots.
Indications for use
- complex neurogenic disorders;
- urinary incontinence;
- if it is impossible to establish an exact cause;
- if there is a suspicion of impaired renal function due to micturition dysfunction;
- to clarify not quite clear diagnoses.
The disadvantages of the method include radiation exposure for the patient and medical personnel, the need to use contrast medium for intravesical infusion, high cost. It requires highly qualified personnel with specific skills and extensive experience in working with standard equipment.
Thus, modern urodynamic, video and neurophysiological studies form the basis of functional and differential diagnosis of various violations of the function of the lower urinary tract and pelvic structures.
These methods are classified as high precision medical technologies. They are included in most standards of care for patients with urinary disorders and the functions of pelvic organs as mandatory or recommended. Training of specialists in urodynamic research takes a long time, and they themselves must meet strict qualification criteria. Integration of several studies into an individual diagnostic program allows you to achieve the best results, choose the right tactics for prompt or conservative treatment, perform dynamic monitoring of the patient's condition and rehabilitation, determine the prognosis of the disease, and generally improve the effectiveness of treatment and improve the quality of life of a urological patient.
