UroLift Procedure (Prostatic Urethral Lift) in India
Also known as Prostatic urethral lift, UroLift system, minimally invasive BPH treatment, non-surgical prostate lift
The short answer
The UroLift procedure in India costs between $4,000 and $6,000, against $8,000 to $13,000 in the US and UK. It's a minimally invasive, outpatient treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), an enlarged but non-cancerous prostate, using tiny permanent implants to hold the prostate tissue open without cutting, heating, or removing any tissue.
About UroLift Procedure (Prostatic Urethral Lift)
The UroLift procedure is a minimally invasive treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a common, non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate that presses on the urethra and restricts urine flow. Unlike TURP or laser prostate surgery, which remove or destroy excess prostate tissue, UroLift uses small permanent implants to gently lift and hold the enlarged tissue out of the way, opening a channel for urine to flow through without cutting, heating, or removing any prostate tissue.
How it's different from TURP
Because no prostate tissue is cut or destroyed, UroLift avoids a specific known side effect of TURP called retrograde ejaculation, making it a preferred option for men who want symptom relief while preserving sexual function as it was before treatment. It's generally done as a quicker, outpatient procedure under local anaesthesia and sedation, rather than requiring general or spinal anaesthesia and an overnight hospital stay.
Who is a good candidate
UroLift tends to suit men with small to moderately enlarged prostates whose main goal is relief from urinary symptoms while avoiding surgery, a catheter, or the risk of sexual side effects. It's generally not recommended for very large prostates, where TURP, laser surgery, or another approach may achieve better long-term symptom control. Your urologist confirms suitability based on your prostate size, measured through imaging, and your specific symptoms.
What happens during the procedure
A small delivery device is passed through the urethra to the prostate, where it places tiny implants that compress and hold back the enlarged tissue blocking the urethra. No incision, cutting or tissue removal is involved, and many patients don't need a catheter afterward, or need one for only a very short period, unlike after TURP.
