The UroLift® system is a relatively new surgical procedure for the treatment of lower urinary tract symptoms due to an enlarged prostate due to benign prostate hyperplasia. A number of tiny implants are inserted to lift and hold the enlarged prostate tissue out of the way so that it no longer blocks the urethra, resulting in improved urine flow. This procedure does not destroy the prostate tissue, meaning that it does not cause erectile dysfunction or permanent urinary incontinence. It is a minimally invasive procedure which that allows patients to return home and to normal daily activities soon after treatment.
