Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Prostatic obstruction management has evolved significantly since the 1980s.
  • Various stent materials (metals, polymers) and types (temporary, permanent) have been developed.
  • Infravesical obstructions include benign/malignant prostatic enlargement, bladder neck stenoses, and urethral strictures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide an overview of temporary metal stents for infravesical obstruction.
  • To discuss two generations of these temporary metal stents.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of temporary metal stents.
  • Analysis of stent development and application in infravesical obstruction.

Main Results:

  • The development of temporary metal stents began in the 1980s.
  • Two generations of temporary metal stents have been utilized for infravesical obstruction.
  • Stents offer a management option for conditions like benign prostatic enlargement.

Conclusions:

  • Temporary metal stents are a key development in managing infravesical obstructions.
  • Continued evolution of stent technology offers improved treatment options.
