They were evaluated after one year and results published in the medical literature.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>How Does Urolift Compare To Transurethral Resection Of Prostate?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Both Urolift and TURP or transurethral resection of prostate procedures designed to improve urinary function in men.&nbsp; The goal of Urolift 10 TURP East to improve his urinary flow, decreased urinary frequency and urgency and decreased the need to urinate at night.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Local Anesthesia In The Office Versus General Anesthesia In The Operating Room.<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Urolift can be performed in the doctor\u2019s office under local anesthesia.&nbsp; Local anesthesia means that the urethra and the prostate are anesthetized, but the patient is fully awake and experiences minimal discomfort or pain during the procedure.&nbsp; TURP procedure requires general or spinal anesthesia and is usually performed in an operating room in a hospital or surgical center.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Recovery After Treatment With Urolift And TURP.<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>In general recovery after the Urolift procedure is shorter than after TURP.&nbsp; Most men after Urolift do not require a catheter or if they do usually for less than 1 day.&nbsp; Most men after TURP require a catheter for a longer period of time, however, this varies tremendously based on the surgeon\u2019s preferences as well as the patient\u2019s anatomy.<\/p>\n<p>Most men after Urolift are back to baseline functioning within 1-2 weeks.&nbsp; Recovery after cure TURP is usually more prolonged, taking up to 6 weeks, usually involving urinary frequency, burning during urination.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Comparison Of Urinary Function After Urolift And TURP.<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Both Urolift and TURP lead to significant improvement in urinary function.&nbsp; In general, the urinary function is improved to a significantly high degree after the TURP procedure than after Urolift.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The urine stream<\/strong> is improved by more than 100% after TURP while it improves only by about 30% after Urolift.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Post-void residual<\/strong>, the residual urine in the bladder after urination is not significantly changed after Urolift, but it is significantly decreased by close to 70% after the TURP procedure.&nbsp; A decrease in post-void residual urine is a significant benefit of Urolift which leads to less frequent urination and a greater ability of the bladder to store urine.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Sexual Function after Urolift and TURP<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>One year after treatment most men experience no significant change in erections after either TURP or Urolift procedure.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of ejaculation dysfunction, patients who undergo Urolift procedure experience a small improvement in ejaculatory function.&nbsp; In comparison, men who undergo TURP on average experience worsening of ejaculatory function.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><strong>If you have any questions, to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.newyorkurologyspecialists.com\/bph\/appointments\/\">schedule a consultation<\/a>&nbsp;or if you need a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newyorkurologyspecialists.com\/bph\/second-opinion-urologist-nyc\/\">second opinion<\/a>, please<a href=\"\/?page_id=876\">&nbsp;<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newyorkurologyspecialists.com\/bph\/contactus\/\">contact us<\/a><\/strong><strong><strong> or call:&nbsp;<\/strong><\/strong><span class=\"style2 redish\"><strong><a href=\"tel:6466634044\">(646) 663-4044<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><strong>We offer affordable, highest-quality urology&nbsp;care with or without insurance. &nbsp;<\/strong><\/strong>&nbsp;Find out our&nbsp;<a title=\"Address and Directions to Office \u2013 New York Urology Specialists\" href=\"\/?page_id=1102\">office hours or directions to our office<\/a>.&nbsp;We offer weekday, weekend, and evening office hours.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How Does Urolift Implant for BPH Compare to TURP (Transurethral resection of Prostate)? by Alex Shteynshlyuger MD If you have any questions, to&nbsp;schedule a consultation, please&nbsp;contact us or call\/text: 1-646-663-4044.
