Treatment Overview
UroLift Same-Day BPH Treatment is a minimally invasive procedure designed to relieve urinary obstruction caused by Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) in a single outpatient visit. Unlike traditional surgeries that require hospitalization and recovery time, UroLift lifts and holds enlarged prostate tissue away from the urethra using permanent implants. In Korea, advanced urology centers offer this procedure with experienced surgeons, allowing men to return home the same day with improved urinary function.
Purpose & Benefits
The primary purpose of UroLift Same-Day Treatment is to improve urinary symptoms without invasive surgery. Key benefits include:
- Minimally invasive procedure with no cutting or tissue removal
- Immediate improvement in urinary flow
- Outpatient procedure with same-day discharge
- Preservation of sexual and ejaculatory function
- Reduced risk of bleeding compared to traditional surgeries
- Rapid recovery and return to normal activities
Ideal Candidates
Ideal candidates for UroLift Same-Day BPH Treatment include:
- Men with mild to moderate BPH symptoms
- Patients seeking a minimally invasive alternative to TURP or laser therapies
- Individuals with prostate size typically under 100cc
- Patients who wish to preserve sexual function

Possible Risks & Complications
Although UroLift is generally safe, potential risks may include:

Techniques & Technology Used
UroLift Same-Day Treatment involves the use of specialized implants and a delivery system:
