  • Title: Prostatic stents and balloon dilatation.
    Author: McLoughlin J, Williams G.
    Journal: Br J Hosp Med; 1990 Jun; 43(6):422-6. PubMed ID: 1694704.
    Abstract:
    Prostatic obstruction of urinary flow is a common age-related event resulting in both troublesome symptoms and retention of urine. There have been recent developments in the management of such patients by inserting metallic stents or by balloon dilatation of the prostatic urethra. The role of these treatments as alternatives to surgery is evaluated and some of the difficulties encountered in their usage are described in this article.
