Zusammenfassung:	A self adjusting and/or positioning indwelling urethral device is provided. The device generally includes a prostatic urethral stent body and a urethral anchoring element. The prostatic urethral stent body includes a preconfigured end portion for anchored receipt within a bladder with the urethral anchoring element extending from the prostatic urethral stent body via a linkage. Engagement of the proximal anchor, delimited by the preconfigured end portion of the stent body, with the bladder is no or minimal impact upon the trigone region.
