Summary

According to the International Continence Society (ICS) (2016), cystometry is the continuous fluid filling of the bladder via a transurethral catheter (or other route, e.g. suprapubic or mitrofanoff), with at least intravesical and abdominal pressure measurements and display of detrusor pressure, including cough (stress) testing. Cystometry ends with ‘permission to void’ or with incontinence of the total bladder content [1].
