"For centuries, physicians studied the appearance and characteristics of urine as a guide to the health of the individual. In contrast, the mechanism of micturition attracted little attention and, until recent years, the study of the lower urinary tract consisted mainly of some form of cystometry and in watching the force of the stream. Exactly when more precise measurements began can be debated but interest in the subject developed rapidly following the improved methods for measuring urinary ftow rates introduced by von Garrelts in 1956. The level of interest and investigation in this subject has since grown quickly though not without debate. Now, after a quarter of a century of endeavour, urodynamics has an established place not only in urology but many other areas of medicine and this book is a lucid account of the current practice of the subject. The special characteristic of this book is that it represents a very cohesive description of the subject as developed in one medical centre. The advantage of this is readily evident by the way in which the Authors have covered the subject, from patient assessment to organisation of urodynamic units, in a logical and practical style. The Authors have also planned the contents so that the reader can follow the evolution of the subject and thereby appreciate the way in which the subject has grown, how the terminology has developed and, perhaps most relevant, how to staff a urodynamic service."
"Practical guide to the functional investigation of patients with incontinence and voiding disturbances. Concentrates on common clinical problems."
"This new edition of Urodynamics takes into account the technological innovations and new techniques that have been introduced since the publication of the first edition in 1983. Urodynamics have since become more widely accepted and most hospitals now recognise that it is an essential part of the diagnostic process in urology and gynaecology. Specialists in geriatrics, paediatrics and neurology also recognise the importance of urodynamics in the investigation of a significant number of their patients. The purpose of the book is to provide a simple yet practical guide to the functional investigation of patients with incontinence and voiding disturbances. The text makes clear the fundamental and vital contribution of urodynamic investigation to the management of patients with any form of lower urinary tract dysfunction. The book concentrates on common clinical problems and the presenting symptom complexes rather than diagnosis; the limitations and possible artefacts of investigation are highlighted. Any clinician without previous experience in urodynamics will be able to appreciate the value and limitations of these investigative techniques as well as obtaining the necessary practical advice on the use of the appropriate equipment in the correct situations. Paul Abrams is Honorary Secretary of the International Continence Society, consultant urologist and Chairman of Research at the Bristol Urological Institute based at Southmead Hospital in Bristol. He is also the author of several books in the field."
