About Urolift Procedure

The Urolift procedure is a minimally invasive treatment designed to relieve symptoms of BPH, a condition where the prostate gland enlarges and obstructs the urinary tract. Unlike traditional treatments that remove or destroy prostate tissue, Urolift offers a novel approach by lifting and holding the enlarged prostate tissue away from the urethra using specialized implants. This technique alleviates the blockage and restores normal urinary flow.

How Urolift Works:

1. Preparation: Before the Urolift procedure, patients undergo a thorough evaluation to determine if the procedure is appropriate. This evaluation includes a review of medical history, physical examination, and relevant diagnostic tests. The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the patient’s condition and preferences.
2. Procedure: During the Urolift procedure, a cystoscope (a thin tube with a camera) is inserted through the urethra to visualize the prostate. Specialized Urolift devices are then used to place small implants in the prostate. These implants lift and hold the obstructive prostate tissue away from the urethra, creating a clear passage for urine flow. The procedure usually takes about 30 to 60 minutes.
3. Post-Procedure Care: After the Urolift procedure, patients may experience some temporary discomfort and urinary symptoms. A catheter may be placed for a short period to aid in bladder emptying. Most patients can return to their normal activities within a few days and resume work within a week.

Benefits of Urolift Procedure

At Emirates Hospitals Group, we are dedicated to offering the most advanced and effective treatments for urological conditions.

1. Minimally Invasive: The Urolift procedure is performed through the urethra, eliminating the need for external incisions. This minimally invasive approach reduces pain, scarring, and recovery time compared to traditional surgical methods.
2. Quick Recovery: Due to its minimally invasive nature, patients typically experience a shorter recovery period with Urolift. Most individuals can resume their daily activities and return to work within a week.
3. Preserves Sexual Function: Unlike some traditional treatments for BPH, Urolift is designed to preserve sexual function. It does not affect erectile function or ejaculatory function, which is a significant benefit for many patients.
4. Effective Symptom Relief: Urolift provides significant relief from BPH symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, difficulty starting or stopping urination, and weak urine flow. Many patients experience noticeable improvements in their quality of life following the procedure.
5. Minimal Risk of Complications: The Urolift procedure has a low risk of complications, such as bleeding or infection, compared to more invasive surgical options. It is generally well-tolerated by patients.

Treatment Areas

The Urolift procedure is primarily used to treat:

1. Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH): BPH is the main condition addressed by Urolift. The procedure effectively relieves urinary symptoms caused by an enlarged prostate.
2. Urinary Obstruction: Urolift is effective in treating urinary obstruction resulting from BPH, improving bladder emptying and reducing associated complications.
3. Chronic Urinary Symptoms: The procedure helps manage chronic urinary symptoms that affect patients’ daily lives and overall well-being.
