In this pilot study on 17 men who underwent urodynamic investigation for various dysuric complaints, real-time transrectal ultrasonography (TRUS) was performed. From the images anatomical parameters were identified that correlated with obstructive urodynamic findings and urethral resistance parameters based on pressure-flow analysis. This study gives support for further clinical investigations to determine the value of TRUS for male patients with dysuric disorders. It also illustrates the anatomical basis of prostatic obstruction as quantified by objective urodynamic parameters.
