Abstract: A prostatic urethral stent for the nonsurgical regulation of prostatic urethral flow is provided. The prostatic urethral stent has a tubular body terminating in opposing, cone-shaped ends. The prostatic urethral stent is dimensioned and adapted for transurethral insertion into the lumen of the internal urethra sphincter so as to be retained therein by the constrictive forces of the internal urethra sphincter and/or enlarged, surrounding prostate. The cylindrical opening of the tubular body facilitates the urethral flow through the prostatic urethra, wherein the cylindrical opening is maintained by the strength of the tubular body, while the retention of the tubular body is a balance of the constrictive forces of the prostatic urethra and the stiffened shape of the tubular body.
