Abstract
- Recently we experienced 20 cases of benign prostatic hypertrophy applied with spiral urethral prosthesis. Seventeen patients showed satisfactory voiding just after the procedure and the average flow rate was 12 ml/sec. The remaining 3 patients got well within 2 days. 1 to 14 months of follow-up was done with urine flow rate, voiding symptoms, urine studies, the presence of hematuria and complications, etc. Most of all patients showed urgency initially. but it was disappeared several days. Twelve cases of hematuria and 1 case of stone formation were noted. We believe that implantation of spiral urethral prosthesis (Prostakath TM) is an acceptable procedure for the treatment of benign prostatic hypertrophy in high risk patients to a prostatic operation.
