[Treatment of obstructive processes of prostatic origin with the Fabian prosthesis].
The present report is a contribution of our experience on the use of Fabian's prothesis. All patients had a urethral obstructive process which resulted from a hyperplastic or carcinomatous prostatic disease for which open- or endoscopic-surgery was totally contraindicated due to the patients' general status as a result of major cardiorespiratory disorders. A literature review and an evaluation of both indications and contraindications for using such prothesis was made.
