Abstract
|
|
|
Intraprostatic spiral was first described by Fabin in 1980 and developed to various modifications. Under the local anesthesia, insertion of the intraprostatic spiral guided by ultrasound and fluoroscope was simple procedure. Intraprostatic
spiral(PROSTAKATHTM) was inserted in 5 patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia. 4 patients were high risk patients of transurethral resection of prostate, 1 patients was terminal stage of lung cancer. After insertion of intraprostatic spiral,
the
peak flow rates were between 15ml/sc and 18ml/sec(mean 16ml/sec). The intraprostatic spiral may be alterative to an indwelling catheter in patients with a high operative risk and in those with a short-life expectance owing to the malignancy.
