Abstract

The management of bladder outflow obstruction has progressed since the early management using catheters and drainage tubes to empty the bladder. Surgical interventions initially involved open retropubic prostatectomies but with the advancement of endoscopy, a number of techniques to resect the prostate are now common place. This chapter covers prosthetic devices used in the management of bladder outflow obstruction.
