A new balloon expanded titanium prostatic urethral stent has been devised for the treatment of outflow obstruction. This stent is inserted under endoscopic guidance and endourethral anesthesia. We have treated 9 male patients in urinary retention with a mean follow-up of eighteen months. Six of our 9 patients had a good and prolonged response to stenting. Complications were minimal and the procedure was well tolerated. We believe that the balloon expandable titanium stent is a viable alternative for the treatment of urinary retention particularly in the very ill patient.
一种新型的球囊扩张式钛制前列腺尿道支架已被设计用于治疗尿流梗阻。该支架在内镜引导和尿道内麻醉下插入。我们已治疗了9例尿潴留男性患者，平均随访18个月。我们的9例患者中有6例对支架置入有良好且持久的反应。并发症极少，该手术耐受性良好。我们认为，球囊扩张式钛支架是治疗尿潴留的一种可行替代方法，尤其是对于病情非常严重的患者。
