A modified Whitaker test (upper urinary tract videourodynamics) using for evaluating complex upper urinary tract reconstruction surgical effect.

ABSTRACT:

Background

To evaluate the feasibility and effect of upper urinary tract videourodynamics in complex reconstructed upper urinary tract.

Methods

From January 2016 to December 2018, patients who underwent complex upper urinary tract reconstruction and received upper urinary tract videourodynamics were included in the study. The modified Whitaker test was performed at 3 months after operation. The relative pelvic pressure was defined as the pelvic pressure minus the bladder pressure. Based on the flow rate, the test was divided into physiological phase and high flow phase. The results of pressure and image were classified into 3 types. Successful nephrostomy removal was defined as no symptoms and improved or stable hydronephrosis.
