Abstract

Urodynamic studies were done on 11 children with voiding problems and 10 children without voiding problems. The evaluations were performed with 13 children under ketamine anesthesia because testings without anesthesia had proved unsatisfactory. With cooperation of 8 children the evaluations were performed without anesthesia. Detrusor contractions occurred in 10 of 13 children under anesthesia and sufficient data were obtained to identify accurate patterns of voiding dysfunction. A method for anesthetic neurourolgic study using ketamine is presented, which permits reliable urodynamic observations on the swakening patients in whom investigations are incomplete or unsatisfactory.
