Abstract
- A clinical observation with particular attention to long-term complications was made on 29 patients with BPH who underwent prostatatic stent insertion. The mean time of prostatic stent indwelling was 11.1 months and the major long-term complications were encrustation with phosphatic deposits and granulomatous mucosal growing into the lumen of stents. These complications were usually necessary to remove the stents in order to deal with the problem satisfactorily. A prostatic stent seems to be of value in the treatment of BPH in patients unfit for surgery, but to be a definite management superior to TURP or open surgery its material and structural improvement should be taken place.
