Executive Summary
Men with moderate to severe symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia may soon find a welcome alternative to the daily regimen of pharmacologic relief, while delaying/avoiding the more aggressive gold-standard treatment of a transurethral resection of the prostate. The UroLift system from NeoTract Inc. lifts the enlarged prostate tissue aside with small customized sutures so it no longer compresses the urethra. The device increases the urethral opening for symptom relief in a transurethral, minimally invasive procedure that can be performed under local sedation by an urologist.
