Videourodynamics combines fluoroscopic voiding cystourethrography with multichannel urodynamics to better evaluate lower urinary tract symptoms. This article reviews current literature and guidelines outlining the indications for obtaining this specialized study…
Intrinsic sphincter deficiency (ISD) is a pathologic condition that is diagnosed by using urodynamics to measure Valsalva leak point pressure and maximal urethral closure pressure. The diagnosis can be difficult…
The American Urological Association/Society of Urodynamics Female Pelvic Medicine and Urogenital Reconstruction Adult Urodynamics Guideline was published with the intent of guiding the clinician in the role of urodynamics in…
Urodynamics (UDS) is the dynamic study of the storage and voiding function of the urinary tract. The goal of the UDS study is to identify the cause of a patient’s…
Benjamin M. Brucker, MD, Editor Victor W. Nitti, MD, Editor Lower urinary tract dysfunction and its associated symptoms can be a significant burden to those who are affected. Whether it…
Samir S. Taneja, MD, Consulting Editor The management of the voiding dysfunction has evolved greatly over the past 20 years from an approach of therapeutic trial and error to an…
Robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) offers excellent and lasting oncologic control. Technical refinements in apical dissection, such as the retroapical approach of synchronous urethral transection, and adoption of real-time frozen section…
The widespread dissemination of robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) occurred despite the absence of high-level evidence supporting its safety and efficacy in patients with clinically localized prostate cancer. This study aims…
The authors performed a literature review to identify cost-effectiveness research as it pertains to robotic surgery. There is increased utilization of robotic surgery in urology with limited comparative effectiveness research…
The use of robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery has increased rapidly and with it, the need to better define a structured curriculum and credentialing process. Numerous efforts have been made by surgical…
