Urethra expansion to prostatic stents

Prostatic stent page deserves inclusion as there is increasing data on these devices - too much information just for the urethra page: esp Urinary stent. Jmunroo (talk) 07:18, 24 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Brand names

There are only two prostatic devices with FDA approval, both should be included as there are no generic names available. Jmunroo (talk) 07:09, 24 April 2008 (UTC). Also ran this by the http://adlab.msn.com/OCI/oci.aspx. Point score is:[reply]

Material moved from Stent

The following was moved here from stent in an effort to streamline that page:

A urethral or prostatic stent might be needed if a man is unable to urinate. This situation often occurs when an enlarged prostate pushes against the urethra, blocking the flow of urine. The placement of a stent can open the obstruction. Recent scientific breakthroughs have confirmed the use of a prostatic stent as a viable method of disobstructing the prostate. Stents can be temporary or permanent. Temporary stents can be placed in a urologist's office in a manner similar to placing a Foley catheter, requiring less than 10 minutes and using only lidocaine jelly as a local anesthetic. Clinical results^[1] show the temporary stent is effective and well tolerated. Permanent stents are mostly placed on an outpatient basis under local or spinal anesthesia and usually take about 30 minutes to insert. Clinical results show occurrences of migration, painful wearing, and difficult removal.^[2]

This too:

Prostatic/sphincter stents can be used for draining the bladder in patients with urethra obstruction or damage to the nerves controlling the bladder. Stents can be placed in the prostate, across the outer and inner sphincter, to achieve good drainage of the bladder. The patient requires diapers, incontinence pants/plastic pants, or an external collection device (external catheter) to collect the urine.
