About

This is a routine evaluation of urethral sensation during urodynamic studies. The record has been realized retrospectively. The investigators propose a new way to represent urethral sensation, in a simple and non-invasive way.

Full description

All patients consulting for urodynamics were included. During the introduction of the urinary catheter for urodynamic evaluation, patients were asked to report pain and/or desire to void felt at every centimeter (cm)of insertion, on an analogic visual scale graded from 0 to 10. The USP was defined by the graphic representation of the successive values of these sensations , from the urinary meatus, to the urinary bladder.
