RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the functional studies in women with stress urinary incontinence. METHODS: Emphasis is placed on comprehensive understanding of stress urinary incontinence in women as well as Urodynamic techniques and findings which apply to women with this condition. RESULTS: Although prospective randomized controlled trials to evaluate the clinical efficacy, cost-effectiveness and effect on quality of life of a pre-operative Urodynamic assessment are necessary, to date only Urodynamic Investigation (Non-invasive uroflowmetry, filling cystometrogram, valsalva leak point pressure, pressure-flow studies and urethral profile) provide enough information for treatment decisions and prognosis in cases of female urinary incontinence.
