"Insertion after instillation of a local lubricant anesthetic gel in the urethra like for Foley insertion. Calibration of the urethral meatus with a 22F Bougie. Insertion of the Bougie until abutment against the posterior wall of the bulbous urethra just below the striated sphincter. Note depth of abutment on the scale of the Bougie. Retrieve the Bougie and glide the device to the same depth until abutment against the posterior wall of the bulbous urethra. At this stage the stent is correctly positioned. Stent release: unlock the Luer connection between pusher tube and stylet . Retrieve pusher tube, stylet and flattener tube.~Control of correct positioning: ask patient to stand up to verify the absence of any urine leak. Ask patient to void immediately to control clear urine output."
