Abstract

Aims: To introduce the standard procedure of cystometry and interpretation of the results in children.

Emphasis is placed on correctly setting up the equipment according to ICS and ICCS guidelines, using appropriate terminology, providing indications for its performance with specific considerations for children, and proper interpretation of results.

Conclusions: Cystometry can be used in children including newborn to evaluate lower urinary tract dysfunction.
