Novel method to salvage a dislodged M emokath intraprostatic stent before deployment in obstructive prostate fossa

Aim M emokath intraprostatic stent insertion is an alternative intervention to manage male patients with bladder outlet obstruction. Occasionally, however, the insertion of a M emokath intraprostatic stent in an obstructive prostate fossa can be complicated with dislodgement. This is deemed to be a procedure failure and there is no suggested solution from the manufacturer concerned to salvage the dislodged stent. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to describe a novel method to salvage a dislodged M emokath intraprostatic stent before deployment in obstructive prostate fossa Patients and Methods The present study is a summary of our experience in salvaging dislodged M emokath intraprostatic stents during insertion for managing bladder outlet obstruction. The M emokath intraprostatic stents were all inserted with flexible cystoscope. Results When the intraprostatic stent is accidently dislodged before deployment, the insertion of a super‐stiff guidewire through the cystoscope judiciously can prevent failure. Conclusion The dislodgment of a M emokath intraprostatic stent before deployment should not be regarded as a procedure failure. We demonstrated a novel and feasible method to solve this situation effectively.
