Procedures & Treatments

UroLift

The UroLift System is a minimally invasive treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) that relieves urinary obstruction without cutting, heating, or removing prostate tissue. Small permanent implants hold the enlarged prostate lobes apart, restoring urine flow — often with same-day discharge and no catheter.

How It Works

Cystoscope passed through the urethra — no incisions
Small permanent implants retract and hold the prostate lobes apart
Typically 4–6 implants per session
No tissue cut, heated, or removed
Outpatient, ~1 hour under local or sedation anesthesia

Who Is a Candidate

Men with moderate-to-severe BPH (IPSS ≥ 8), prostate 30–80 cc
Want to preserve ejaculatory and sexual function
Prefer to avoid daily medication
No significant obstructing median lobe
Good option for men who are poor TURP candidates

What to Expect

Same-day discharge; catheter use is rare
Mild urgency and discomfort for 2–4 weeks
Noticeable symptom improvement within 2–4 weeks
Sexual function and ejaculation preserved in clinical trials
Durable results at 5 years; retreatment remains an option
