Abstract

We report our indications and experience in the use of intraprostatic endoprosthesis. We report also our preliminary experience in the use of a new intraprostatic endoprosthesis which has been developed at our institute. This prosthesis can be easily positioned, shows little invasiveness and does not require ultrasonic, radiological or endoscopical guidance.
