The authors report their preliminary experience with the insertion of intraprostatic spirals in the treatment of chronic urinary retention due to prostatic hypertrophy in 8 inoperable patients. The value is stressed of transrectal US guidance during spiral insertion together with the advantages of US over other positioning techniques (i.e., better visualization of prostatic urethra and urethral sphincter, real time visualization of spiral progression and correct positioning). All patients were successfully treated without complications; spiral positioning was easier in the patients with a Foley's catheter (22 CH). US-guided positioning of intraprostatic spirals appears an easy and safe treatment of chronic urinary retention in inoperable patients.
作者报告了他们对8例无法手术的前列腺肥大所致慢性尿潴留患者插入前列腺内螺旋装置的初步经验。强调了在螺旋装置插入过程中经直肠超声引导的价值，以及超声相对于其他定位技术的优势（即能更好地显示前列腺尿道和尿道括约肌，实时显示螺旋装置的推进和正确定位）。所有患者均成功接受治疗，无并发症发生；对于留置Foley导尿管（22CH）的患者，螺旋装置的定位更容易。超声引导下前列腺内螺旋装置定位似乎是一种治疗无法手术患者慢性尿潴留的简便且安全的方法。
