title: [The Nissenkorn endourethral prosthesis: our experience].
abstract: The Authors report their experience about 40 patients who presented urinary retention by cervico-prostatic obstruction with anesthetic counterindications or limited life expectancy, cured with the urethral prosthesis of Nissenkorn (IUC). Our data permit to say that in selected patients IUC may represent an effective treatment with minimal invasiveness, low cost and few side effects.
