[Prostatic endoprosthesis in the treatment of prostatic obstruction: preliminary experience with the new Trestle model].
The urethral stent is a relatively new treatment modality for benign prostatic hypertrophy ostruction. Although the ultimate prostatic endoprosthesis has yet to be developed, various stents have been produced and investigated with good results. We review the several currently available stents and we report the preliminary clinical experience with a new device (Trestle).
