title: [New permanent expandable prosthesis for the treatment of urethral stenosis].
abstract: The paper presents our initial experience in the treatment of urethral stenosis through implantation of a "Wallstent" self expanding resident prosthesis. A total of eleven prosthesis were placed in 10 patients with excellent results, from a clinical, urodynamic, radiological and endoscopic point of view, in 9 of them after 5 months. We believe that this kind of prosthesis can be a valid alternative to other established therapeutic options in the management of urethral stenosis. Long-term monitoring, however, will be necessary in order to corroborate the excellent results obtained in this short/medium-term observation.
