How effective is TUMT?

Our results suggest that TUMT is a safe and reasonably effective treatment for high-risk catheter-dependent men. Furthermore, the low incidence of adverse bleeding events suggests that TUMT is a safe treatment modality for men requiring uninterrupted anticoagulation.

Is the UroLift procedure painful?

There is no pain, no incision, and no discomfort. Advanced Urolift is performed and you are sent home after a short 10 minute procedure.
