Overview

Objective:
The review article describes properties of sonography diagnostics in urogynecology.

Design:
Review article.

Setting:
Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry, Palacky University in Olomouc.

Material and methods:
The review of sonography methods in urogynecology, their practical use for low urinary tract dysfunctions diagnostics, monitoring of surgical therapy effect and diagnostics of complications.

Conclusion:
Ultrasonography is inseparable part of urogynaecology examination, it is imaging method of the first choice to determine the exact diagnosis and indication for therapy, evaluation of postoperative conditions and solution of complications.
