In incoordination of the the detrusor external remainder, urethral sphincter, a urodynamic voiding assessment cystourethrogram was was obtained performed yearly. Follow-up ranged from 18 to 48 months Effect The urodynamic studies showed that 18 (50%) of the 36 children had incoordination of the detrusor-external urethral sphincter. Three of these had hydronephrosis on the initial excretory urogram. Severe hydroureteronephrosis, massive reflux, or an enlarged bladder with a large post voiding volume or urine developed within six months of birth in seven, before 2 yrs of age in two, after two years of age in one. Thirteen (72%) of 18 children with dyssynergia were found to have these abnormalities. The five infants with incoordination of the detrusor-external urethral sphincter who urinary tracts did not deteriorate had milder forms of dyssynergia. Nine newborns had synergic activity of the external uretheral sphincter. In two (22%), dyssynergia and subsequent decompensation of the urinary tract developed. Of the nine neonates with absent electromyographic activity in the external urethral sphincter, only one experienced deterioration of the urinary tract, and this child had elevated urethral resistance. The incidence of urinary tract decompensation was significant different (χ²=19.6, 2 df, p<0.001) among the three groups of newborns differentiated by the nature of electromyographic activity at the time of initial urodynamic study. No correlation could be made between the level of the neurological lesion and the type of activity of the external sphincter or the development of deterioration of the urinary tract. 16/36 (44%) of infants required treatment for deterioration of the urinary tract. Authors conclusion Infants with dyssynergia of the detrusor-external sphincter are at high risk of deterioration of the urinary tract; they should be followed up closely and intermittent catheterisation should be started early.

Ref pressure ID: MCGUIRE1981 profilometry, cystometrogram) Effect Detrusor response to filling Of the 42 patients 7 (17%) showed reflex detrusor activity in response to bladder filling. In 3 of these 7 patients intravesical pressure at the time of urethral leakage (urethral opening pressure) was higher than maximal resting urethral closing pressure values as determined by the profile technique, while in 4 it was lower. In the former 3 patients discoordinate activity between the detrusuor and external sphincter was present, while in the latter 4 patients coordinate detrusor and sphincter activity occurred. 35/42 (83%) patients showed areflexic detrusor dysfunction. Detrusor pressure response to volume increments varied: 5 patients showed no significant intravescial pressure response to volume increments and demonstrated a large bladder capacity without urethral leakage, while 30 showed a progressive increase in pressure without increasing volume culminating in urethral leakage when intravesical and intraurethral pressures were equal. Urodynamic findings in relation to excretory urography (IVP) and voiding cystourethrography A total of 20 patients showed intravesical pressures ≤ 40 cm water at the time of urethral leakage, while 22 showed pressures greater than this value. No patients in the low pressure group suffered vesicoureteral reflux and only 2 showed evidence of urethral dilation on an IVP. Urethral dilation resulted in resolution of upper urinary tract changes in these 2 patients. In contrast, the patients who demonstrated higher peak urethral closing pressures and, consequently, higher intravesical pressures at the time of urethral leakage had significantly more clinical problems. 15 (68%) had vesicoureteral reflux, 18 (81%) showed uretral dilation on an IVP, 8 underwent an operative procedure to decrease urethral resistance and 7 underwent urinary diversion. One patient ultimately required a renal transplant into an ileal loop diversion. In all, 17 operative procedures were performed, including 2 ureteral reimplantations.

Every patient with a normally closed vesical outlet was continent on intermittent catheterisation and an anticholinergic agent, while nly 60% of patients with open bladder outlets similarly treated achieved good urinary control and none was dry. Treatment options for patients with high urethral closed pressures include intermittent catheterisation and anticholinergic medications or a sphincter ablative procedure to decrease the outlet resistance combined with anticholinergic therapy and implantation of an artificial sphincter.

Methods: We reviewed records of 23 continent ileocecal augmentation cystoplasties performed over the last 5 years. The goals of the operation, patient selection criteria, pre-operative evaluation, operative technique, and post- operative evaluation with results were studied. Results: Twenty-three patients underwent the procedure with the average follow-up being 26.9 months (range 3 ± 67 months). Bladder capacity was increased by an average of 276.8 milliliters (ml). No metabolic problems have been detected, and 95% (22/23 patients) are continent via their urethra and stoma. Conclusions: This unique modi®cation of the Indiana continent urinary reservoir is not technically dicult to create and is relatively free of complications. The bladder capacity is greatly increased and post-operative continence rates are excellent. Finally, the quality of life for these patients has been signi®cantly improved by their ability to access the augmented bladder independently via an abdominal stoma.

Kramer, Arthur M. Sterling and Peter F. Suhel tlnternational Continence Society, Department of Clinical Physics & Bio-Engineering, l1 West Graham Street, Glasgow G4 9LF, UK Introduction The two parameters that are most commonly measured in urodynamic studies are pressure and urinary flow rate. In each case a transducer is used to produce an electrical signal to represent these parameters in a form that can be readily recorded on chart paper or magnetic tape, displayed on an oscilloscope or stored digitally in a computer. Another useful parameter, the electromyogram (EMG), is already in an electrical form. Generally it is desirable to reproduce these para­ meters as "faithfully" as possible, without modifying the signal appearing at the source. This can usually be achieved by direct amplification. Often, however, more useful, and perhaps more readily interpretable, data can be acquired by modifying the original signal before it is eventually displayed. This, together with amplification, is referred to as signal processing. Interference from other physio­ logical variables may be present in the recorded signal, appearing as if originating from the source. The recorded signals should therefore be interpreted with caution.

Pollock MD1, Kalpesh Patel MD2, Joel Funk MD1 1University of Arizona, Department of Urology, Tucson, AZ, USA. 2Arizona Institute of Urology, Tucson, AZ, USA Abstract Objectives: Ureteroceles present a diagnostic and treatment challenge in adults. With an estimated prevalence of 1/500 to 1/4000, it is not uncommon for any urologist to encounter a ureterocele in clinical practice. We present an interesting case of a 53-year-old male with a 20-year history of obstructive voiding symptoms who presented to clinic with urinary retention that was found to be secondary to an orthotopic ureterocele that was prolapsed into the prostatic urethra. The patient underwent holmium laser ureterocele excision with transurethral incision of the prostate with a successful outcome. We present a video demonstrating the technique. Materials and Methods: Preoperative evaluation included a transrectal ultrasound of the prostate which revealed a prostate volume of 20cc. Urodynamics was also performed and pressure flow studies revealed a high-pressure, low flow voiding pattern with a functional detrusor muscle. Cystourethroscopy was performed revealing that an orthotopic ureterocele on the left side was prolapsed into the prostatic urethra and the bladder neck was mildly elevated. Using MOSES technology and laser settings of 30 Hz and 1.5 J, the ureterocele was completely excised and a transurethral incision of the prostate was performed. Results: The patient was discharged home on the day of surgery in stable condition with a Foley catheter in place.

As UDS is only one part of the comprehensive evaluation of LUTS, these findings are intended to assist the clinician in the appropriate selection of urodynamic tests following an appropriate evaluation and symptom characterization. At this point, the clinician may utilize the principles in these guidelines to formulate urodynamic questions and select the appropriate urodynamic tests. The literature is inconclusive and “pure” symptomatalogy is rare; therefore, this guideline will not specify whether UDS testing should be done routinely in SUI or LUTS.
