Abstract
An implant with which a bladder neck can be treated in a simple and reliable manner. This is achieved by an implant, in particular a removable implant, having a pressure structure for expanding the bladder neck of a person. This pressure structure exerts local pressure on the tissue of the bladder neck. The pressure structure can be connected to a holding for handling. This holding, which may be a wire or a thread or a rod, can be used to insert the implant or the pressure structure through the urethra into the bladder neck and, if necessary, to retrieve the pressure structure from the patient's body after the end of the treatment.
