title: Development of fixable stent for long-term derivation of lower urinary tract.
abstract: The object of the envisaged project is the development of easily fixable non-irritant stent of the lower urinary tract. The project has the aim to remove the obstruction and make passage-way through urethra which, after repeated operations, remains narrowed and requires repeated dilatations or, in the patients who have a chronic epicystostomy due to the non-passable urethra. The prosthesis must be self fixable, non-irritant, easily introduceable and removable by endoscopy, enabling normal urination with urinary continence and, last but not least, at a reasonable price.
