What is the UroLift System?

The UroLift System is an FDA approved, minimally invasive treatment for BPH. During the UroLift procedure, implants are put in place during a transurethral outpatient procedure that can be done in the physician’s office under local anesthesia. These implants are used to hold the enlarged prostate out of the way to relieve the obstruction symptoms. The UroLift Procedure is safe, straightforward and will allow urine to flow normally again without cutting, heating, or removing tissue. Patients who receive the UroLift procedure can expect to experience a rapid improvement in their quality of life. Clinical data has shown that patients report lasting improvement in their symptoms and flow rate without compromising sexual function.

What is BPH?

BPH, also known as “benign prostatic hyperplasia”, is when a benign prostate becomes enlarged. This is very common and the enlargement of the prostate occurs slowly as men get older. As the prostate enlarges it begins to press against and constrict the urethra. This leads to the bladder walls becoming thicker and causing the bladder to weaken and lose its ability to empty. The narrowing of the urethra and the inability to empty the bladder completely are the main causes of BPH symptoms. BPH may also be called benign enlargement of the prostate (BEP, BPE), adenofibromyomatous hyperplasia, benign prostatic hypertrophy, or benign prostatic obstruction.
