📖 What is the UroLift Procedure?
The prostate is a small gland below the bladder in men. The tube that carries urine out of the bladder (the urethra) passes through it. After the age of about 50, the prostate often grows larger. This is called benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) – it is not cancer. The enlarged gland squeezes the urethra, causing a weak stream, frequent urination and waking at night to pass urine.
UroLift, also called prostatic urethral lift (PUL), uses a thin telescope passed through the urethra. Small permanent implants (usually 4–6) are placed to hold the enlarged prostate lobes apart, like tie-backs on a curtain, opening the channel for urine. No prostate tissue is cut, heated or removed, so recovery is quick and erections and ejaculation are usually preserved.
🖼️ Understand It in Pictures
💡 In simple words
UroLift uses tiny implants, placed through the urine tube, to pull apart the enlarged prostate lobes, like tie-backs on a curtain. Nothing is cut or burnt away. It suits some men with small to medium prostates and usually keeps ejaculation.

🩺 Who Is UroLift For?
🚹
Men with BPH symptoms
Moderate to severe urinary symptoms from an enlarged prostate.
💊
Men unhappy with tablets
Symptoms not controlled, or side effects from alpha-blockers or 5-ARI tablets.
❤️
Men wishing to keep sexual function
Want to avoid the ejaculation problems common after TURP or laser surgery.
📏
Prostate size about 30–80 mL
Best results in small-to-medium prostates; large glands suit other surgery.
👴
Older or higher-risk men
Can often be done under local or light anaesthesia with minimal bleeding.
🏃
Men wanting fast recovery
Back to normal activity within a few days, often without a catheter.
⚠️ Symptoms That May Need Treatment
- ➤Weak or slow urine stream
- ➤Waking at night to pass urine
- ➤Passing urine very often
- ➤Sudden urge to urinate
- ➤Difficulty starting to urinate
- ➤Feeling the bladder is not empty
- ➤Stopping and starting while urinating
- ➤Dribbling at the end
💡 Mild symptoms often need only lifestyle changes or tablets. Reducing evening fluids, caffeine and alcohol, and medicines such as tamsulosin or finasteride help many men. UroLift is not suitable for very large prostates (over about 80–100 mL), some obstructing middle lobes, active infection or prostate cancer; TURP, HoLEP or other procedures may be better then.
🔬 Tests Before Treatment
| Test | Why it is done |
|---|---|
| Symptom score (IPSS) | A short questionnaire that measures how much BPH affects you. |
| PSA blood test and examination | Helps rule out prostate cancer before treatment. |
| Transrectal or abdominal ultrasound | Measures prostate size and urine left in the bladder after passing urine. |
| Uroflowmetry | Measures the speed of your urine stream. |
| Cystoscopy | A telescope look inside to check the shape of the prostate and any middle lobe. |
| Urine test, kidney function and blood sugar | Rules out infection and checks general health. |
🏥 The Procedure — Step by Step
1
Consultation and tests
The urologist reviews your symptoms, PSA, ultrasound and flow test to confirm you are suitable.
2
Admission
You come to the daycare unit on the day of the procedure.
3
Anaesthesia
Local anaesthetic gel with sedation, or short spinal or general anaesthesia.
4
Cystoscope inserted
A thin telescope with the UroLift delivery device is passed through the urethra.
5
Compressing the lobe
The device gently pushes the enlarged prostate lobe aside.
6
Placing the implant
A tiny needle passes through the lobe and a small implant anchors it to the outer capsule.
7
Repeating
Usually 4–6 implants are placed on both sides to open a continuous channel.
8
Final check
The urologist checks the opened channel through the telescope.
9
Recovery
You pass urine before going home; a catheter is needed only in a few men for a short time.
10
Same-day discharge
Discharged the same day with medicines and advice.
⚖️ UroLift Compared With Other BPH Treatments
| Treatment | What is done | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| UroLift (prostatic urethral lift) | Implants hold the prostate lobes open; no tissue removed | Prostate 30–80 mL, men wanting to keep ejaculation |
| Rezum water vapour therapy | Steam injections shrink prostate tissue over weeks | Prostate 30–80 mL including middle lobe |
| TURP | Prostate tissue cut away through a telescope | Medium prostates; long-standing gold standard |
| HoLEP / ThuLEP laser enucleation | Laser removes the whole inner prostate | Large prostates, very durable results |
| Medicines | Alpha-blockers and 5-ARIs relax or shrink the prostate | Mild to moderate symptoms |
📊 In the randomised L.I.F.T. trial (Roehrborn et al., Journal of Urology 2013; 5-year results in Canadian Journal of Urology 2017), UroLift improved symptom scores by about 36% and urine flow by about 44% at 5 years, with no new ongoing erectile or ejaculatory dysfunction; about 13.6% needed further treatment over 5 years.
📅 Your Day-by-Day Plan in India
| Day | What happens |
|---|---|
| Day 1 | Arrival in India ✈️, airport pick-up and hotel check-in |
| Day 2 | Urologist consultation, PSA, ultrasound, flow test and cystoscopy planning |
| Day 3 | UroLift procedure 🩺 in daycare; home to hotel the same day |
| Day 4–5 | Rest at hotel; mild burning and blood in urine settle |
| Day 6 | Review with urologist, flow test, fitness-to-fly letter |
| Day 7 | Fly home ✈️ |
🌱 Recovery After Treatment
🏠
Day 0–1
Go home the same day; most men pass urine without a catheter.
🔥
Days 1–7
Mild burning, urgency and some blood in urine are common and settle within 1–2 weeks.
💧
Week 1
Drink plenty of water; avoid heavy lifting and cycling for a few days.
💼
Week 1–2
Return to normal activities and work within a few days.
📈
Week 2–4
Urinary flow and symptoms improve noticeably; many men stop BPH tablets.
✅
3 months
Full benefit; review with urologist and flow test.
🏆 Success Rate
| Outcome | Result |
|---|---|
| Improvement in symptom score (IPSS) | About 35–50% |
| Improvement in urine flow | About 40–50% |
| New lasting erectile/ejaculatory problems | About 0% in trials |
| Need for further treatment over 5 years | About 10–15% |
| Return to normal activity | Within about 1 week |
Results are best in men with a prostate of about 30–80 mL without a large obstructing middle lobe. UroLift gives smaller flow improvement than TURP or HoLEP but with far fewer sexual side effects and a faster recovery.
🩹 Risks & Possible Complications
UroLift is one of the safest BPH procedures; most side effects are mild and short-lived.
- •Burning or discomfort when passing urine – common, 1–2 weeks
- •Blood in the urine – common, usually clears within 1–2 weeks
- •Urgency or frequent urination for a few weeks
- •Pelvic discomfort – mild, short-lived
- •Need for a short-term catheter – about 5–10%

💰 Cost of UroLift Procedure in India
The cost of the UroLift procedure in India starts from about USD 4,500. Most of the cost is the imported implants. The package covers the urologist and anaesthetist fees, a standard number of UroLift implants, the daycare stay in a private room, routine medicines and consumables. A larger prostate needing extra implants increases the cost.

| UroLift with extra implants | 5,500 – 6,500 | Daycare | Larger prostate needing 5–6+ implants |
| Rezum water vapour therapy | 3,000 – 4,000 | Daycare | Alternative minimally invasive option |
| TURP / HoLEP surgery | 2,500 – 4,500 | 2–3 days | Tissue removal for larger prostates |
⚠️ Final cost depends on prostate size, the number of implants needed, the anaesthesia type and the hospital. Quotes are confirmed after the specialist examines the patient in India.
