It is well accepted that video-urodynamics is considered the “gold standard” for the evaluation of voiding abnormalities. However, the majority of urodynamics practitioners do not utilize “video” for various reasons.This lecture focuses on how the “video” of video-urodynamics answers clinical questions that cannot be answered by any other technique.
