[Interdisciplinary significance of a basically equipped urodynamic measuring unit (author's transl)]. 
The present work deals with the indication and results of 1102 urodynamic examinations on 776 patients, grouped according to the various medical departments from which they were assigned.  The interdisciplinary importance of these examinations was emphasized by the fact that urodynamic examinations turned out to be necessary in patients from gynaecological, urological, neurological, pediatric, surgical and medical departments.  After the usual gynaecological, urological, radiological and neurological examinations, a detailed case history was obtained with the help of a questionnaire and cystometry, uroflowmetry, and/or simultaneous vesico-urethrotonometry was carried out on each patient, depending on the medical evidence.  The results, which were listed according to assignment from the various medical departments, show that urinary disturbances occur in all the medical fields mentioned above and that they cannot be treated successfully without a previous urodynamic examination.  We were able to differentiate the various forms of female urinary incontinence of gynaecological patients, as well as various forms of neurogenic bladder disturbances of the patients from all the other medical departments.  A broad discussion deals with the complexity of the subject and shows the possibilities of a small, but easily and quickly usable urodynamic examination programme at a general hospital.
