What is the UroLift® Procedure?
The UroLift® System uses small, permanent implants to lift and hold enlarged prostate tissue away from the urethra, relieving obstruction and restoring urine flow.
The procedure:
-
Is performed endoscopically through the urethra

Does not remove or destroy prostate tissue
-
Can often be carried out as a day-case procedure
-
Typically avoids the need for long-term catheterisation
