Abstract:
Intraurethral mechanical support using prosthetic devices known as stents has become an increasingly used therapeutic approach in bladder outlet obstructions. This article is an overview on the stents used in the obliterated prostate and urethra which can be inserted in a radiological suite. The insertion of each currently available stent under fluoroscopy, transabdominal and transrectal sonography is described.
