Ultrasound-guided insertion of a spiral urethral prosthesis is a useful technique for patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia or prostate cancer who have high operative risks. This minimally invasive approach offers a viable alternative to traditional surgery.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Medical Devices
  • Minimally Invasive Procedures

Background:

  • Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and prostate cancer are common conditions in aging men.
  • Surgical interventions for BPH and prostate cancer carry significant risks for some patients.
  • Alternative treatment options are needed for high-risk individuals.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the utility of ultrasound-guided insertion of a spiral urethral prosthesis.
  • To assess this technique in patients with BPH and prostate cancer.
  • To determine feasibility in patients with high operative risk.

Main Methods:

  • A spiral urethral prosthesis was implanted in 7 patients (5 with BPH, 2 with prostate cancer).
  • Procedures were performed under local anesthesia.

  • Ultrasonic guidance was utilized for precise prosthesis placement.

    • Main Results:

    • The spiral urethral prosthesis was successfully inserted in all 7 patients.
    • Ultrasound guidance facilitated accurate placement of the intraprostatic spiral.
    • The technique proved useful in selected patients unsuitable for surgery.

    Conclusions:

    • Ultrasound-guided spiral urethral prosthesis insertion is a feasible and useful technique.
    • This method is particularly beneficial for high-risk patients with BPH or prostate cancer.
    • It offers a minimally invasive alternative to surgical procedures.
