Abstract:
:An outline is given of simple urodynamic investigations applicable to elderly subjects. The type of patient presenting primarily to geriatric departments with urinary incontinence, whose management is aided by such studies, is described under various clinical groupings. The requirement for urodynamic studies and the best means of providing these for the elderly patient is discussed.
