A novel balloon-expandable titanium prostatic urethral stent offers a viable solution for urinary retention. This minimally invasive procedure showed promising results in most patients, with minimal complications.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Medical Devices

Background:

  • Urinary outflow obstruction is a common condition.
  • Current treatments may have limitations or risks.
  • Newer minimally invasive options are needed.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate a new balloon-expandable titanium prostatic urethral stent.
  • To assess its safety and efficacy in treating urinary retention.
  • To determine its viability as an alternative treatment.

Main Methods:

  • A novel balloon-expandable titanium prostatic urethral stent was developed.
  • The stent was inserted under endoscopic guidance and local anesthesia.
  • Nine male patients with urinary retention were treated.
