| Core Tip |
Herein, we report a life-threatening complication occurring several years after Memokath 028 implantation in an older and frail patient with benign prostatic hyperplasia for the first time. Memokath 028 is a permanent stent, but the long-term indwelling of Memokath 028 which is not working can be caused to acute bacterial prostatitis and epididymitis because of urinary tract infection. Eventually, our report reveals that Fournier’s gangrene associated with genitourinary organ infection such as acute bacterial prostatitis and epididymitis may occur in elderly unless the stent is removed. This report provides a good example of the management of patients with permanent or temporary prostatic stents for benign prostatic hyperplasia. |
