| Urodynamics is a bladder physiology study. It is probably the most important study that one can do in a patient with urinary incontinence. The study is done in a urodynamics lab in strict privacy. The patient is asked to lie on a couch in a recumbent position and her bladder is connected to a computer by catheters. The study is basically done to identify whether the patient has any obstruction to flow of urine, stable bladder and the pressure in the urethra. Many a time surgical decision making depends on urodynamic variables.
