Gujarat’s 1st UroLift procedure performed at Aarna Superspeciality hospital in Ahmedabad

Ahmedabad : The Urolift technique, which gives quick relief and recuperation for men with symptoms of an enlarged prostate, has been performed for the first time in Gujarat at Aarna Superspecialty Hospital in Ahmedabad. The Prostatic Urethral Lift (PUL) method is unique to the UroLift System, which has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration. A 64-year-old male patient from Ahmedabad underwent the treatment, which was guided by renowned Urologists Dr. Rohit Joshi and Dr. Gaurang Kadam, and he was released from the hospital within two to three hours. Importantly, the only facility in Gujarat authorised to execute UroLift system procedures is Aarna Superspeciality Hospital, located in Ahmedabad.

In response to Gujarat’s first UroLift surgery, “We are delighted that patients in Gujarat will now get benefitted with the FDA-approved UroLift System treatment that has been found to be safe and effective for symptoms related to BPH,” stated Dr. Rohit Joshi, Chairman and Chief Urologist, Aarna Group of Superspeciality Hospitals. Patients can often avoid having to leave the hospital with a catheter in place after their procedure. Many patients report improvement in symptoms within a matter of weeks, and recovery time is brief. In addition to curing problems like ejaculatory disruption and urine incontinence, the UROLIFT operation is completely risk-free, even for patients at high risk.

Inconvenient urinary symptoms are a hallmark of BPH (Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia), a prevalent disorder that can lead to decreased productivity, sadness, disturbed sleep, and a lower quality of life. Some men may be at risk for lifelong bladder damage if they don’t get their BPH addressed. Bladder stones, blood in the urine, incontinence, and urinary retention are additional possible complications that can arise over time.

The UroLift System is a non-surgical, outpatient treatment for BPH that requires no overnight hospitalisation. It helps men with BPH get relief from their symptoms quickly and gets them back to normal quickly. Permanent implants from the UroLift System are placed during an outpatient surgery that is minimally invasive in order to alleviate prostate obstruction and directly open the urethra without first cutting, heating, or removing prostate tissue. Males will experience minimal downtime and no permanent loss of sexual function.

Worldwide more than 400,000 men have been treated for BPH with the UroLift System. In India, total 32 BPH cases with UroLift system have been performed at various multi-speciality hospitals across the cities.

Men experiencing symptoms of BPH should consult a urologist for more information and treatment options. You may seek BPH treatment if you experience BPH symptoms such as urgent need to urinate, difficulty starting your urine stream, need to push or strain when urinating, dribbling, the sensation that the bladder is not empty after urinating, weak urine flow, increased frequency of urination, frequent night time urination, burning or pain during urination.
