The monograph provides a systematic description of the micturition, urinary continence mechanism and infravesical obstruction. Methods of functional diagnostics are discussed: uroflowmetry, cystometry, urethral pressure profile, sphincter EMG and X-ray evaluation of the lower urinary tract. The Standard Terminology by the International Continence Society is also enclosed. Within each chapter a review of the method precedes the detailed description of relevant techniques and equipment.
The book may be recommended not only to urologists, but also to gynaecologists, neurologists, specialists of physiology and internal medicine.
