    Session Type: Interactive Session

    Interactive Session: Role of Urodynamics in Neurovesical Dysfunction and its Management

    Friday, October 31, 2025
    10:30 - 12:00 GMT+0

    This Interactive Session is organized by the Neurourology Promotion Committee (NPC) of the International Continence Society (ICS). ICS has been advancing multidisciplinary continence research and education worldwide since 1971. The mission of the ICS-NPC is to provide theoretical and practical education in the field of Neurourology.
    The session provides an overview of the Neurogenic Lower Urinary Tract Dysfunction (NLUTD). Pathophysiology and management of NLUTD will be addressed. A comprehensive overview of urodynamic studies, focusing on their application in patients with NLUTD will be discussed.
    Participants will gain in-depth knowledge of the essential issues that are required for upper urinary tract protection. Additionally, they will get familiar with the management strategy for gaining continence, if possible. The principles, techniques, and interpretation of urodynamic tests, emphasizing their role in diagnosing and managing of NLUTD will be discussed, as well.
    The session covers specific challenges and adaptations required for neurogenic patients, including spinal cord injuries, multiple sclerosis, and other neurodegenerative diseases. Case studies will enhance understanding and equip attendees with the skills to implement best practices in clinical settings.

    Learning Objectives :

    At the end of this session, attendees should be able to:
    • Understand the pathophysiology of nLUTD.
    • Recognize high-risk patients for upper urinary tract deterioration.
    • Provide an up-to-date management strategy for nLUTD.
    • Understand Urodynamic Principles: Explain the principles, indications, and techniques of urodynamic studies in clinical practice.
    • Recognize Neurological Implications: Identify the unique urodynamic patterns associated with neurological conditions such as spinal cord injuries, multiple sclerosis, and neurodegenerative disorders.
    • Interpret Urodynamic Results: Analyze and interpret urodynamic data to guide diagnosis and treatment planning for LUTD.
    • Adapt Techniques for Neurogenic Patients: Implement modifications in urodynamic procedures to address the specific needs and challenges.
    • Apply Patient-Centered Approaches: Integrate patient safety, comfort, and ethical considerations into urodynamic practice.
    • Utilize Case Studies: Apply theoretical knowledge to real-world scenarios through case-based learning and practical sessions.
