Abstract

To determine the benefits of a new self-expanding and self-retaining large calibre temporary intraprostatic coil stent in patients with bladder outflow obstruction due to benign prostatic hypertrophy. Sixty-five patients with bladder outflow obstruction have been studied with a follow-up period of 3-28 months (mean 16). Thirty patients became eligible for surgery and had their stent removed without difficulty 3-12 months after stent insertion. Only one stent was removed because of urgency and incontinence. Stent repositioning was required in five patients and 14 complained of temporary dysuria or perineal pain. Twenty-seven patients continue to pass urine through their stent without difficulty. Because of its large diameter and its temporary nature this new stent allows endoscopic examination of the bladder and has few side effects. This stent should be considered as an alternative to a urethral catheter or other temporary stents in patients who are unfit for surgery.

Cajal Bodies & Gems

Cajal bodies or coiled bodies are dense foci of coilin protein. Gemini of Cajal bodies, or gems, are microscopically similar to Cajal bodies. It is believed that Cajal bodies play important roles in RNA processing while gems assist the Cajal bodies. Find the latest research on Cajal bodies and gems here.
