Abstract
Balloon dilation of the prostate is being assessed as an alternative to transurethral resection for benign prostatic hyperplasia. Frequently, balloon dilation is performed under fluoroscopic guidance or requires the use of different-sized prostatic balloon dilators. The use of the Karl Storz modified cystoscope sheath allows any urologist to perform balloon dilation of the prostate easily as an office procedure. The modified sheath permits the use of paracatheter cystoscopy, which ensures safe and effective balloon dilation by allowing direct visualization of the balloon in the prostatic urethra. This technique has been successful and without complications in 41 patients undergoing balloon dilation of the prostate at our medical center.
