We are one of only a few hospitals in the country offering a relatively new treatment option, called UroLift®, for men with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
The UroLift® system received NICE guidance approval in 2014, as a proven surgical option for the treatment of lower urinary tract symptoms due to an enlarged prostate due to BPH. The treatment works by using a number of tiny implants to lift and hold the enlarged prostate tissue out of the way so that it no longer blocks the urethra, resulting in improved urine flow.
UroLift® is unique in that it does not destroy the prostate tissue, meaning that it does not cause erectile dysfunction or permanent urinary incontinence. It is a minimally invasive procedure which can means patients can return home and to normal daily activities soon after treatment.
For men older than 50 years, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a common prostate problem. UroLift® is an alternative for patients looking for something other than drug therapy or more invasive surgery. Treatment might be right for you if any of the following apply to you:
Typically you will be able to go home after the procedure without a catheter. You should experience rapid symptom relief without complications, as early as two weeks after the procedure. Results are long-lasting, with no medications required to sustain relief.
We offer competitive all-inclusive package prices making it easy to pay for your own treatment.
We have agreements in place with all of the major health insurance providers. So, if you are insured, please call your insurance company for authorisation.

TURP (Transurethral Resection of the Prostate) is prostate surgery to remove part of a man’s enlarged prostate gland. At Ramsay Health Care UK we frequently perform TURP surgery for the treatment of and enlarged prostate causing lower urinary tract symptoms.
The Yorkshire Clinic has been offering Aquablation Therapy, the minimally invasive treatment for an enlarged prostate, for six months and we catch up with one of our Consultant Urologists, Mr Stewart, to get some questions answered.
Hear directly from a patient, after a cancerous tumour was found in a scan and biopsy, they had treatment at The Yorkshire Clinic and were soon back to doing what they love - painting and decorating!
I would highly recommend The Yorkshire Clinic. I found my experience to be exceptional from start to finish, my surgeon is the nicest specialist I have ever met and the nursing staff are extremely professional and very caring.
