Validation of a culturally compliant voiding platform for urodynamics in African vesicovaginal fistula patients
2015
Introduction and hypothesis
Most patients in regions where obstetric vesicovaginal fistulas (VVF) are endemic void using a squatting posture. Additionally, many patients continue to have lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) following fistula closure. We designed and validated a prototype platform that allows urodynamic studies to be performed in a squatting position and conducted a pilot study to assess uroflowmetry in this patient population.
