[Urodynamic examination in the investigation of non neurological female urinary incontinence].

Urodynamic examination has to contain uroflowmetry, post void residual, filling cystometry with detrusor pressure measurements during micturition, urethral pressure profile with maximal urethral closure pressure (MUCP) and Valsalva leak point pressure (VLPP). A urodynamic examination is not necessary before conservative treatment of urinary incontinence in the female. A complete urodynamic examination is recommended before any decision of surgical correction of urinary incontinence and in case of surgical failure.
