New Minimally Invasive Treatment for BPH with Fewest Sexual Side Effects.
Urolift, an innovative treatment for an enlarged prostate in men with BPH (benign prostatic hyperplasia) was recently approved by the FDA after rigorous evaluation. Urolift for BPH is unique among treatment options for BPH in that it does not cause sexual side effects based on the studies reviewed by the FDA.
Randomized controlled studies have shown a durable benefit for >5 years after the procedure with minimal side effects and high patient satisfaction. In fact, studies suggest that sexual function improves after treatment.
Urolift is appropriate for men with an enlarged prostate and urinary symptoms who do not want to take daily medications or who wish to avoid the side effects associated with other treatment options for BPH such as TURP, Greenlight laser, and Flomax. It is most appropriate for men with obstructing prostate with mild to moderate enlargement. Some men with more severe urinary symptoms, including urinary retention, may be candidates for Urolift. Some men with urinary symptoms as a result of prostate cancer may also benefit from Urolift.
Experienced Urologist Performs Urolift Procedure at New York Urology Specialists
Urolift is offered at New York Urology Specialists. Dr. Alex Shteynshlyuger is among the first urologists in the New York Metro area to offer this advanced treatment option for his patients.
For your treatment of enlarged prostate and the Urolift procedure, you need a highly trained and experienced urologist. As one of the most experienced urologists in the Urolift procedure, Dr. Alex Shteynshlyuger performs some of the most delicate and complicated treatment with Urolift for men with a large prostate and an enlarged median lobe.
Treatment involves a quick outpatient procedure. Men traveling from other states and countries can usually return home the next day after the procedure.
Did you know? Dr. Shteynshlyuger has performed over 500 surgeries and procedures for enlarged prostate, including Rezum, Urolift, prostate enucleation, laser ablation of the prostate, and TURP. He performs 100 prostate procedures a year.
Who is a Candidate for Urolift?
Many men with an enlarged prostate are good candidates for the Urolift procedure. It is important for us to evaluate each potential patient to make sure that Urolift is an appropriate treatment option for each man considering it. Please read about our patient selection criteria for the Neotract Urolift System for BPH and a detailed explanation of who is a candidate for the Urolift procedure.
How does Urolift Work?
Urolift is unique in that it does not destroy tissue. Instead, Urolift compresses normal tissue that blocks the urethra, which results in a patent, wide urethra, and improved flow. On the image below, you can see the net result on the urethra and prostate before and after Urolift treatment.
Does Urolift Work for Everyone?
Urolift has very good efficacy for men who are good candidates for the procedure based on a thorough evaluation. For men who are considered a good candidate for Urolift, success rates are around 90%. When Urolift does not achieve the desired results, other treatment options after the Urolift procedure are available. Procedures such as iTind, Greenlight laser, and TURP can be performed for patients who fail Urolift therapy for BPH.
Cost of Treatment and Insurance
At New York Urology Specialists, we offer affordable treatment for men. Our prices are low for patients without insurance and for those who have high insurance copays, high deductibles, or insurance plans that do not cover treatment costs.
We accept many health insurance plans. We would be happy to verify your eligibility and benefits and to provide you with detailed information on your health plan’s coverage. Financing options and credit options are available to help you pay for medical care.

by Charles Thompson on Jul 06, 2019
I am a 54 year-old male who is extremely happy with my care at New York Urology Specialists. I came to see Dr. Alex out of near desperation after consulting with three other urologists. Literally over one night, I began experiencing severe penile pain and burning. None of the other urologists were able to help diagnose what my problem was and seemingly didn't take my problem very seriously. In fact, one of them specifically told me at it had nothing to do with my prostate. After 6 weeks of suffering, I saw Dr. Alex. He examined me and gave me some tests and lab work. He very quickly ascertained that my problem was due to an enlarged prostate. He proscribed medicine to deal with my pain in the short-term and keep my prostate size in check over the long-term. My problem quickly disappeared. Today, 5 years later, I feel great. Dr, Alex listens to you as a patient, takes your opinion and health concerns seriously and knows his field inside-and-out so that you can get proper treatment for your problem. I can't thank him enough for diagnosing and solving my malady - you sometimes can't appreciate a problem until you have it. Getting rid of it and getting back to normal is so important - I am so glad that I saw Dr. Alex for my problem.

by Joseph Waddy on Oct 24, 2018
I have been a patient of another Urologist for years, with no positive results. Then I learned about Dr. Alex Shteynshlyuger through a TV newscast. I immediately decided to have a consultation with him. Best decision I ever made!!! Dr. Alex performed the Rezum procedure and has literally changed my life. I highly recommend Dr. Alex and his staff to anyone who wants the most caring, capable and result oriented urological medical care. Thumbs up to Dr. Alex and staff!!!!!!!!!
