Abstract
Most cases of female stress urinary incontinence (SUI) can be diagnosed following a positive cough or stress test in which urine is seen leaking from the urethral meatus. However, for more complicated cases, urodynamics can be a useful tool to help with diagnosis as well as to guide further management for patients with stress urinary incontinence. In this chapter, we will describe complicated cases of SUI and the specific components of urodynamic testing that should be performed prior to treatment selection.
