Abstract:
Dynamic urethral pressure profilometry is a urodynamic study that records the detrusor pressure and eternal sphincter pressure simultaneously during the filling and emptying phase. With this study to the patients who have voiding dysfunction we could differentiate the hyperreflexia from simple frequency and urgency without incontinence, check the detrusor pressure and volume and the point of clean intermittent catheterization schedule. It was also possible to differentiate the voluntary detrusor sphincter dyssynergia from obstruction due to BPH in CVA patients with frequency and residual urine by checking the external sphincter pressure during the emptying phase with dynamic urethral pressure profilometry. In conclusion, dynamic urethral pressure profilometry is a very useful urodynamic study to check the detrusor and external sphincter function simultaneously at one full urodynamic study to check the detrusor and external sphincter function simultaneously at one session within 15 minutes.
