A new balloon expanded titanium prostatic urethral stent has been devised for the treatment of outflow obstruction. This stent is inserted under endoscopic guidance and endourethral anesthesia. We have treated 9 male patients in urinary retention with a mean follow-up of eighteen months. Six of our 9 patients had a good and prolonged response to stenting. Complications were minimal and the procedure was well tolerated. We believe that the balloon expandable titanium stent is a viable alternative for the treatment of urinary retention particularly in the very ill patient.
