UroLift at Urology Clinic DRHC Dubai

What is UroLift?

UroLift is a minimally invasive procedure designed to relieve symptoms of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), a condition commonly known as an enlarged prostate. BPH can cause urinary problems such as difficulty in urination, a weak urine stream, and frequent urination, especially at night. UroLift offers a safe and effective solution without the need for traditional surgery.

How UroLift Works

1. Preparation:
   • Patients receive local or general anesthesia to ensure comfort during the procedure.
   • A cystoscope (a thin tube with a camera) is inserted through the urethra to provide a clear view of the prostate.
2. Procedure:
   • Tiny UroLift implants are placed into the prostate to lift and hold the enlarged prostate tissue out of the way.
   • This opens up the blocked urethra, allowing urine to flow more freely.
3. Post-Procedure:
   • The procedure typically takes about an hour, and patients can often go home the same day.
   • Most patients experience rapid symptom relief and a quick recovery.

Benefits of UroLift
