We herein present our initial experience of a short series with the Allium™ Bulbar Urethral Stent (BUS) in the management of bulbar urethral disease. This Allium™ stent is a self-expandable metal stent which is intended for temporary placement. Our series is a retrospective analysis of 15 BUS placements in 13 patients conducted during 2014 to 2016. BUS was placed successfully after visual inter...
