Bladder outflow obstruction is a very common age-related clinical entity due to a variety of benign and malignant diseases of the prostate. Surgical treatment under general or regional anesthesia is not suitable for high-risk elderly patients who seek minimally invasive management. Unfortunately, for patients who are not fit for transurethral and/or laser prostatectomy, few treatment options remain, other than long-term catheterization and insertion (under local anesthesia) of a prostatic stent. In this review, we present developments in the use of prostatic stents.
