<p>Disclosed herein is a stent for prostatic urethra expansion which does not generate bladder stones, is removable without causing injury on a urethra, and does not generate atrophy of a prostatic urethra even after removal. The stent for prostatic urethra expansion include a stent unit including a cylindrical body with space parts formed by knotting or crossing shape memory alloy wires and bending terminals formed at both ends of the cylindrical body, a pair of hook wires passing through the space parts and knotted to the shape memory alloy wires, both ends thereof being wound on the bending terminals and then being bent upwardly to produce hooks, and a pair of hanging strings arranged in opposite directions to form a hanging knot. The stent for prostatic urethra expansion does not move into the bladder, and expands and maintains a lumen of the stenosed prostatic urethra, thereby reducing post-operative recovery time.</p> |
