I learned that urodynamic studies examine how well the bladder, urethra, and sphincters are able to store and release urine. Therefore, most urodynamic studies test the bladder’s ability to hold and empty urine. I was able to observe one preparation (by Taylor) and two procedural supports (one by Taylor and one by…
