Urodynamics studies in benign prostatic hypertrophy

A study of patients with benign prostatic hypertrophy indicates that flow rates may well be useful in evaluating the degree of obstruction and the results of therapy. Electromyography and cytometry studies, while demonstrating certain tendencies in benign prostatic hypertrophy, do not give statistically significant data for evaluation and prognostication either by themselves or when correlated with radiographic changes and flow rates.
