11. The method according to claim 1, wherein the method involves injecting at least adrenaline, preferably both at least one anesthetic agent, such as carbocaine, and adrenaline, sequentially to different parts of the prostate, preferably to at least two different positions of the prostate, more preferably to four different squares of the prostate.

12. The method according to claim 11, wherein the method involves injecting at least one anesthetic agent to the prostate via the needle and injecting adrenaline to the prostate via the needle during at least a first phase of the method, wherein at least the injecting of adrenaline to the prostate is performed sequentially.

13. The method according to claim 1, wherein the method involves means for locating a tip of the needle.

14. The method according to claim 13, wherein said means for locating is an external means, preferably an ultrasound device or a CT (computed tomography) device, or internal means to be injected through the needle, preferably nanoparticles.

15. The method according to claim 1, wherein the method also involves injecting adrenaline and/or one or more cytostatic agents to the prostate.

16. A kit comprising a catheter comprising an introduction unit with a top, said introduction unit also comprising a drainage lumen hole for drainage of a urinary bladder; a balloon stopper unit in connection with and thus possible to fill via a balloon inflation connection and balloon filling tube arranged inside of the introduction unit, wherein filling of the balloon stopper unit with a fluid is intended when the balloon stopper unit is arranged inside of the bladder of a patient to provide for a stopper function of the balloon stopper unit against the bladder neck of the patient; said catheter also comprising an injection connection connected to an injection tube arranged inside of the introduction unit, which injection tube extends in a needle arranged to be provided to extend from the introduction unit; a drainage outlet; wherein the needle has at least one outflow opening being provided in a radial direction from the needle; said kit also comprising at least one or more syringe(s) connectable to the injection connection of the catheter and containing at least one anesthetic agent and/or at least one antibiotic agent.

17. The kit according to claim 16, wherein the needle has at least two outflow openings being provided in radial directions from the needle.

18. The kit according to claim 17, wherein said at least two outflow openings are provided on opposite sides of the needle.

19. The kit according to claim 16, wherein said kit comprises also one or more vials or flasks containing at least one of the following: an anesthetic agent, adrenaline, an antibiotic agent, botulinum toxin, a corticosteroid, an anti-inflammatory agent, or a combination thereof, which are intended to be contained in said at least one or more syringe(s) connectable to the injection connection of the catheter, preferably several vials or flasks of which there is contained a combination of an anesthetic agent, adrenaline, an antibiotic agent, botulinum toxin, a corticosteroid, an anti-inflammatory agent, or a combination thereof.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0073] In FIG. 1a there is disclosed a kit according to one embodiment of the present invention. The kit comprises a catheter 1 comprising an introduction unit 2 with a top 3, said introduction unit 2 also comprising a drainage lumen hole 4 for drainage of a urinary bladder. Moreover, the catheter 1 also comprises a balloon stopper unit 5 in connection with and thus possible to fill via a balloon inflation connection 6 and balloon filling tube arranged inside of the introduction unit 2. The filling of the balloon stopper unit 5 with a fluid is intended when the balloon stopper unit 5 is arranged inside of the bladder of a patient to provide for a stopper function of the balloon stopper unit 5 against the bladder neck of the patient. The catheter 1 also comprises an injection connection 8 connected to an injection tube 9 arranged inside of the introduction unit 2, which injection tube 9 extends in a needle arranged to be provided to extend from the introduction unit 2 and into the prostate of a patient. As can be seen in FIG. 1b, in this case the needle 10 has two outflow openings 10a, 10b being provided in radial directions from the needle 10, and the two outflow openings 10a, 10b are provided on opposite sides of the needle 10.

[0074] The catheter 1 also comprises a drainage outlet 11. Moreover, according to this embodiment, the catheter 1 has a multi-connection unit 12 which holds the balloon inflation connection 6, the injection connection 8 and at least a first portion of the drainage outlet 11.

[0075] Furthermore, the kit also comprises at least one or more syringe(s) 1000 connectable to the injection connection 8 of the catheter 1 and, in this case, containing adrenaline and at least one anesthetic agent, which could be a local anesthetic agent.

[0076] In FIG. 2 there is disclosed a part shown of the catheter 1 according to the embodiment of a kit according to the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1a-b.
