Explanation:

We go in and place a structure that kind of looks like the wire brace around a champagne cork, a device that's got three prongs with sort of a metal twine that untwist and holds it in place in the prostate. The device has three heads to it, one at 12 o'clock, one at five and the other strut at seven o'clock. And this is placed through the bladder and then using cystoscope, pulled back and place it correctly in the prostate.
