UroLift® System Treatment at Northwest Urology

A Minimally Invasive Solution for Enlarged Prostate (BPH)
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), or an enlarged prostate, is a common condition affecting men as they age. Symptoms such as frequent urination, weak urinary stream, and difficulty emptying the bladder can significantly impact daily life. The UroLift® System offers a breakthrough, minimally invasive treatment that lifts and holds enlarged prostate tissue out of the way without cutting, heating, or removing tissue—allowing for rapid symptom relief and improved quality of life.

Why Choose UroLift®?

  • Quick Relief – Faster symptom improvement compared to medications.
  • Minimally Invasive – No cutting, heating, or tissue removal.
  • Preserves Sexual Function – Unlike other BPH treatments, UroLift® does not interfere with erectile or ejaculatory function.
  • Fast Recovery – Most patients return to normal activities within days.
  • No Ongoing Medication – Eliminates the need for long-term BPH medications.
  • Clinically Proven – Supported by 19 clinical studies with over four years of published data.

How UroLift® Works

  1. Accessing the Prostate – The UroLift® Delivery Device is inserted through the urethra to reach the enlarged prostate.
  2. Placing the Implants – Tiny UroLift® implants are permanently placed to lift and hold the prostate tissue away from the urethra.
  3. Restoring Urine Flow – The procedure creates an open channel for urine to pass freely, relieving BPH symptoms.

How the UroLift® System Works

Enlarged Prostate:

An enlarged prostate compresses on the urethra, making it difficult for urine to flow.

Step 1:

The UroLift® Delivery Device is placed through the obstructed urethra to access the enlarged prostate.

Step 2:

Tiny UroLift® Implants are permanently placed to lift and hold the enlarged prostate tissue out of the way and increase the opening of the urethra.

Step 3:

The UroLift® System treatment provides fast and reliable symptom relief by opening the obstructed urethra.

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia, or BPH, is a condition in which the prostate enlarges as men get older. Over 70% of men in their 60s have BPH symptoms so it is very common. While BPH is a benign condition and unrelated to prostate cancer, it can greatly affect a man’s quality of life.


The prostate is a male reproductive gland, about the size of a walnut, that produces fluid for semen. The prostate surrounds the urethra, which is the tube that carries urine from the bladder out of the body. As the prostate enlarges, it presses on and blocks the urethra.

  • Frequent need to urinate both day and night
  • Weak or slow urinary stream
  • A sense that you cannot completely empty your bladder
  • Difficulty or delay in starting urination
  • Urgent feeling of needing to urinate
  • A urinary stream that stops and starts

If you suffer from the above symptoms, you are not alone. BPH is one of the leading reasons for men to visit a urologist.

The UroLift® System treatment is a revolutionary, minimally invasive approach to treating an enlarged prostate, or BPH, that lifts or holds the enlarged prostate tissue out of the way so it no longer blocks the urethra. There is no cutting, heating or removal of prostate tissue.

Clinical data has shown that the UroLift® System treatment is safe and effective in relieving lower urinary tract symptoms due to BPH without compromising sexual function. The goal of the UroLift® System treatment is to relieve symptoms so you can get back to your life and resume your daily activities.

  • Rapid symptom relief, better than reported for medications
  • Risk profile better than reported for surgical procedures such as TURP
  • Preservation of sexual function
  • Return to normal activity in days not months
  • Increased quality of life
  • No ongoing BPH medications
  • 19 clinical study publications; 4 years published clinical data
