    UroLift

    The UroLift is a simple procedure involving the use of small implants to elevate and secure enlarged prostate tissue, alleviating obstruction of the urethra. This innovative technique does not involve cutting, heating, or removal of prostate tissue.

    Apollo Hospitals in Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad, provides this state-of-the-art procedure for men dealing with prostate enlargement.

    Who Is Eligible For UroLift?

    The UroLift procedure is typically advised for men experiencing mild to moderate BPH who have not achieved satisfactory results with medication and prefer to steer clear of more invasive surgical interventions. However, it may not be suitable for individuals with severe BPH, an exceptionally enlarged prostate gland, or underlying medical conditions that could impact the safety or efficacy of the procedure. A urologist can assess each patient’s unique circumstances and determine whether the UroLift procedure is a suitable option for them.

    What Happens During UroLift Procedure?

    UroLift is a minimally invasive treatment designed for enlarged prostates, aimed at widening the urethra affected by the swollen prostate. Prior to the procedure, the patient receives mild sedation. Subsequently, a device is inserted through the urethra to access the prostate.

    Following this, 4-6 tiny implants, crafted from medical-grade stainless steel and highly flexible nitinol, are carefully placed to lift or support the enlarged prostate tissue, thereby permanently opening the urethra. Notably, this procedure does not involve any incisions or piercing of organs and typically takes only 30 minutes to an hour to complete.

    Benefits of UroLift Procedure

    The UroLift procedure for BPH offers numerous benefits to patients, making it an increasingly popular treatment option. Some key advantages of this procedure include:

    • Shorter Procedure Duration: The UroLift treatment is known for its quick completion, typically taking less than an hour from start to finish due to its non-invasive nature.
    • Faster Recovery: As it does not involve invasive surgery, the body undergoes minimal stress, leading to a quicker return to normal activities compared to more invasive treatments.
    • Elimination of Long-Term Medications: Patients undergoing the UroLift procedure avoid the need for prolonged medication therapy typically associated with BPH treatment, thereby minimising potential side effects and ensuring convenience.
    • Absence of Major Sexual Side Effects: Unlike other surgical interventions for BPH, the UroLift procedure does not commonly cause concerning sexual side effects like retrograde ejaculation. Furthermore, it does not impact sexual functions, and by eliminating the need for medications, it can even help improve and recover from any preexisting sexual side effects.

    FAQ's

    With the UroLift procedure, patients typically go home the same day with minimal downtime and no need for a catheter. Many patients begin to experience symptom relief as soon as two weeks after the procedure.

    The UroLift is distinct from other BPH treatments due to its safety and effectiveness, often surpassing traditional surgical methods. Patients usually report better symptom relief compared to medication, with a more favourable risk profile.

    In clinical studies, the most commonly reported side effects were mild to moderate, including pain or burning during urination, blood in the urine, pelvic pain, urgency, and incontinence. Most of these symptoms usually resolve within two to four weeks after the procedure.
