UroLift System
A minimally invasive treatment for an enlarged prostate that lifts the obstructing tissue out of the way — no cutting, heating, or removal of tissue.
The UroLift System is a minimally invasive treatment for an enlarged prostate (BPH). Tiny implants gently lift and hold the obstructing prostate tissue out of the way — no cutting, no heating, and no removal of tissue.
Who benefits from UroLift
UroLift is a good option for men with BPH symptoms (weak stream, frequency, getting up at night, incomplete emptying) who want lasting relief without the side effects of medications or the recovery of more invasive procedures. It preserves sexual function — a key advantage over many surgical alternatives.
The procedure
UroLift is performed in the office under local anesthesia and takes about 10 minutes. Through the urethra, your urologist places permanent UroLift implants that lift the prostate lobes apart, opening the urinary channel.
After UroLift
Most patients drive themselves home and return to normal activities within a day or two. Symptom improvement is typically noticed within 2 to 4 weeks. Long-term studies show durable results out to 5+ years, with significantly lower retreatment rates than medication alone.
