Abstract

|
|
We describe the uso of gold-coating expandable urethral stents implanted into 3 patients with urinary obstruction due to recurrent urethral stricture(one case) and inoperable benign prostatic hypertrophy(two cases) respectivly. The stent, formed
from
stainless steel in the form of a cylindrical zigzag pattern and coated with 24 carat gold, was inserted via delivery device using fluoroscopy control under local anesthesia. During 6 months follow-up, the stents remained in situ and there were no
urinary incontinence or other complication, The maximum flow rate were 24ml/sec in case of urethral stricture and 20ml/sec in BPH. these patients were satisfied with the procedure, which provided a quick, safe and effective alternative to
conventional
surgical treatment.
