Claim:
1. A device for implanting a prosthesis in a body tissue, comprising a tubular element having an open end through which the prosthesis can exit outward, a pressure element acting on a rear end of the prosthesis, first movement means programmed for advancing the pressure element inside the tubular element so as to bring a front end of the prosthesis closer to the open end and second movement means programmed for moving the tubular element back with respect to the pressure element a pre-established calculated amount, in a manner such that the rear end of the prosthesis exits outward from the open end, wherein the first movement means are programmed for advancing the pressure element inside the tubular element along a path such to bring the front end of the prosthesis to a pre-established distance from the open end, the second movement means being programmed for moving the tubular element back an amount that is equal to a longitudinal size of the prosthesis, plus said pre-established distance.
