Technique for Detection of Detrusor Hypertonia in the Presence of Urethral Sphincteric Incompetence

Abstract
A simple urodynamic test is described that has prognostic significance in the determination of whether augmentation of urethral resistance will lead to elevated intravesical pressures and potential renal damage. The technique is applicable to patients with impaired urethral sphincter function but fixed urethral resistance and an areflexic bladder.
