What is UroLift®?
UroLift is a minimally invasive treatment for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) that gently lifts and holds enlarged prostate tissue out of the way so it no longer blocks the urethra. This improves urine flow without cutting, heating, or removing tissue.
Why Choose UroLift®?
- No cutting, no heating, no removal of prostate tissue
- No incisions — performed entirely through the natural urinary passage
- Typically no catheter after the procedure
- No sexual side effects — preserves erectile and ejaculatory function
- Rapid symptom relief and quick return to normal activities
- In-office or outpatient setting — no hospital stay required
Advanced Urology is one of the busiest UroLift practices in the country, offering deep experience and outcomes.
How We Evaluate Candidates
- Detailed history, physical exam, and review of urinary symptoms
- Urinalysis to rule out infection or blood
- Prostate imaging (ultrasound) to measure size and shape
- Cystoscopy to visualize the prostate and urinary passage
- Discussion of goals and treatment expectations
What to Expect During the Procedure
- Performed under anesthesia in our surgery centers
- Small implants are placed to retract prostate tissue away from the urethra
- Takes about 10 minutes
- Usually no catheter afterward
- Go home the same day and resume normal activity quickly
Recovery & Results
Most men notice improvement within about two weeks, with continued gains over the next few months. If side effects occur, they are usually mild and temporary—such as slight burning with urination or increased frequency during the first week.
FAQs
Will it affect my sexual function?
No. UroLift is designed to preserve both erectile function and ejaculation.
Will I need to stay in the hospital?
No. It’s an outpatient procedure, often performed in one of our state-of-the-art surgery centers.
Am I a candidate?
Men with BPH symptoms and a prostate size up to ~60 grams are often good candidates. We’ll evaluate your anatomy to confirm.
