Clinical Decision-Making in Urodynamics: From Stress Incontinence to Neurogenic Bladders

In BackTable Urology’s latest collaboration with the Society of Urodynamics, Female Pelvic Medicine & Urogenital Reconstruction (SUFU), Dr. Howard Goldman and Dr. David Ginsberg join Dr. Giulia Ippolito to discuss the evidence-based use of urodynamics across a range of clinical scenarios.

More about this episode
They review guideline-driven indications and limitations of urodynamic testing, emphasizing that many common conditions do not routinely require testing. Through case-based discussion, they highlight situations where urodynamics can meaningfully inform care, such as complex neurogenic patients and cases requiring differentiation between obstruction and detrusor underactivity. The conversation highlights the importance of clinical judgment, targeted use of adjuncts such as uroflow, and aligning testing with decision-making to optimize patient outcomes.
