摘要:
A method is provided for local controlled delivery of a drug to the seminal vesicle, the prostate, the ejaculatory duct, or the vas deferens of a patient in need of treatment. In one embodiment, the method includes implanting a resorbable drug delivery device within the seminal vesicle, the prostate, the ejaculatory duct, or the vas deferens of the patient. The drug delivery device may include an elastic device body housing at least one drug reservoir which contains at least one drug. In a preferred embodiment, the method further includes releasing the drug from the device in a controlled manner to, typically directly to, the seminal vesicle, the prostate, the ejaculatory duct, or the vas deferens.
