Abstract

Urodynamics can distinguish bladder outlet obstruction from detrusor underactivity. Clear identification of the mechanism of a man's voiding symptoms can help give the best chance of good outcome from surgery. Publication of results from the UPSTREAM study will help in establishing the exact place for urodynamic testing in male lower urinary tract symptoms.
