Abstract
Objectives. Urethral dysfunction may lead to a deterioration of kidney function and be life-threatening. A thorough diagnosis of the pathophysiology is consequently vital to ensure the correct treatment is given. Material and methods. In this study, 34 adult patients suspected of a urethral etiology giving rise to urinary retention, urgency or chronic lower urinary tract infections were investigated by uroflowmetry with simultaneous electromyography and voiding video cystourethrography. Conclusions. Both methods proved to be essential for an accurate assessment of the pathological state.
