    The Urological Spiral (US), an intraprostatic partial catheter, restores spontaneous urination for patients with prostatic urethra obstruction. This innovative device offers a safe and effective treatment option with minimal complications.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Medical Devices

    Context:

    • Prostatic urethra obstruction due to adenoma or carcinoma often limits treatment options.
    • Existing therapeutic methods may not be suitable for all patients requiring intervention.

    Purpose:

    • To introduce and evaluate the Urological Spiral (US), an intraprostatic partial catheter, as a novel treatment for prostatic urethra obstruction.
    • To assess the efficacy, safety, and patient outcomes associated with the US implantation.

    Summary:

    • The Urological Spiral is a rust-proof steel device designed to maintain prostatic urethra patency.
    • It facilitates spontaneous micturition and allows for the natural healing of bladder infections.
    • Insertion and removal are minimally invasive procedures performed under local anesthesia with common urological instruments.

    Impact:

    • The US offers a viable alternative for patients ineligible for traditional surgical interventions.
    • It demonstrates a low complication rate and no significant contraindications.
    • This study provides the first critical assessment of the Urological Spiral based on regular use in a larger patient cohort.
