| Popis: | Background: Transurethral prostatectomy is a standard treatment modality for intravesical obstruction with benign prostatic hyperplasia. However, some patients cannot undergo this procedure, so alternative devices or surgical procedures have recently been developed. Methods: We treated 26 patients with prostatic outflow obstruction by placement of a self-retaining intraurethral catheter (IUC). All patients had coexisting medical complications which contraindicated transurethral prostatectomy. Results: In the short-term, the treatment was successful in 96.2% of the patients, however, longer follow-up demonstrated a significant failure rate, and the 3-year success rate declined to 12.5%. The majority of late failures were associated with urinary tract infections. Conclusion: These results showed that although placement of an IUC to treat prostatic obstruction was effective in the short-term, its long-term efficacy was highly limited. |
