The UroLift System is an innovative, minimally invasive treatment for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), commonly known as an enlarged prostate. It offers quick relief from urinary symptoms by addressing the root cause without cutting or removing tissue. At Ace Hospital, our skilled urology team ensures that every step of the procedure is performed with precision and care.
How Much Time Does UroLift Surgery Take?
One of the key advantages of UroLift surgery is its efficiency.
- Procedure Time: The entire surgery typically takes 30 minutes or less, depending on the size and structure of the prostate.
- Outpatient Procedure: It is usually performed as an outpatient procedure, meaning you can go home the same day.
While the surgery itself is quick, pre-operative preparation and post-operative observation may extend the overall time spent at the hospital to a few hours.
How is UroLift Surgery Done?
The UroLift System provides immediate symptom relief by lifting and holding the enlarged prostate tissue away from the urethra. Here’s how the procedure is performed:
- Preparation You will be asked to lie comfortably on the surgical table. Local or light sedation anesthesia is administered to ensure minimal discomfort during the procedure.
- Placing the UroLift Implants A small handheld device is inserted into the urethra through a cystoscope (a thin tube with a camera). Using this device, the surgeon carefully places tiny implants into the prostate. These implants lift and secure the enlarged prostate tissue, creating an open channel for urine to flow freely.
- Precision and Safety The entire procedure is guided by advanced imaging to ensure accuracy and safety. No cutting, heating, or removal of prostate tissue is involved, reducing the risk of complications.
- Final Steps Once the implants are in place, the device is removed, and the patient is monitored for a short period before being discharged.
Why Choose UroLift Surgery?
The UroLift System is revolutionizing BPH treatment with its many advantages:
- Quick Relief: Patients often notice improvement in symptoms within days.
- Minimally Invasive: No cutting or tissue removal means reduced risks and faster recovery.
