Urology as a specialty made a novel progress within last 20 years, linked to an implementation of new technique, which enabled the refinement of the diagnosis of urological diseases and enriched a spectrum of its conservative and surgical treatment. In the field of functional disorders of lower urinary tract, the urodynamics or videourodynamics has become the gold standard. Its correct reading gives a chance to handle up to 80 % of these functional disorders with causal conservative treatment. In many cases, this treatment will prevent renal function impairment with gradual onset of chronic renal insufficiency, which ends up with expensive dialysis or transplantation. The goal of treatment is mainly to protect upper urinary tract, to prevent irreversible renal failure, improve patient’s life comfort because he suffers and is limited due to urinary incontinence and recurrent urinary tract infections.
