What Is UroLift and How Does It Work?
UroLift is a minimally invasive procedure that treats lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) — the non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland that compresses the urethra as men age. Unlike TURP or Rezum, UroLift does not remove or ablate prostate tissue. Instead, small permanent implants (clips) are placed via a cystoscope through the urethra to lift and hold the enlarged lateral lobes of the prostate away from the urethral channel, immediately restoring urine flow.
The procedure takes approximately 20 minutes and is performed under local anaesthetic. No general anaesthesia, no hospital stay, and no catheter in most cases. The UroLift System is approved by the KFDA (Korea FDA) and the US FDA, and has an extensive clinical evidence base including randomised controlled trials with 5-year follow-up data showing sustained symptom relief.
- Men with moderate-to-severe BPH symptoms (IPSS ≥ 13) not adequately controlled by medication
- Men who wish to avoid the sexual side effects associated with TURP (retrograde ejaculation)
- Men who cannot tolerate or wish to discontinue long-term BPH medication
- Men with prostate volume up to approximately 80mL (larger prostates may require Rezum or TURP)
- International patients seeking a same-day outpatient procedure with rapid recovery
All three treat BPH but differ significantly in mechanism, anaesthesia, and risk profile. UroLift and Rezum are both same-day outpatient procedures under local anaesthetic with minimal sexual function risk. TURP requires spinal or general anaesthesia and hospital admission, and carries higher risk of retrograde ejaculation. Prostate size, anatomy, and patient preference determine which is most appropriate — discussed at consultation.
