How does the UroLift System work?
The UroLift® System is a revolutionary approach to treating a prostate enlarged by BPH. Tiny implants hold the enlarged prostate tissue out of the way, so it no longer blocks the urethra.
Dr. Kenworthy can place the UroLift® System implants under local anesthesia in his office. Pressure is relieved, and urine can flow normally again. Typically, patients return home the same day.
Advantages of the UroLift System: 1
- Uses a permanent implant for a permanent solution
- Rapid symptom relief, better than reported for medications
- Safer risk profile, better than reported for surgical procedures like TURP
- Preservation of sexual function
- Return to normal activity in days, not months
- Improved quality of life
- No ongoing BPH medications
- Results proven by 19 clinical study publications and 5 years published clinical data
The goal of the UroLift® System treatment is to relieve your symptoms so that you can get back to your life and resume your daily activities.
