UroLift - Transurethral implants for BPH
A tissue-free technique to relieve urinary disorders
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) can affect daily urinary comfort. UroLift is an innovative technique involving the insertion of small trans-urethral implants to spread the prostatic lobes without removing any tissue. The result: rapid relief of urinary symptoms, without incision or risk of loss of ejaculation.
The benefits of UroLift treatment
A minimally invasive, effective approach that respects sexual function.
✔ Rapid relief of urinary symptoms (weak stream, frequent micturition)
✔ Technique without tissue removal or thermal destruction
✔ Total preservation of erectile function and ejaculation
✔ Short procedure, under local or light anesthesia
✔ Return to normal activities within a few days
✔ Performed as an outpatient procedure - same-day discharge
How it works
How is a UroLift procedure performed?
