Campus Construction Update

Starting September 14, we’re closing the Menino building lobby entrance. This, along with the ongoing Yawkey building entrance closure, will help us bring you an even better campus experience that matches the exceptional care you've come to expect. Please enter the Menino and Yawkey buildings through the Moakley building, and make sure to leave extra time to get to your appointment. Thank you for your patience.

Urolift™


The Urolift™ System uses a specialized stapling device to lift and hold enlarged prostate tissue out of the way so that it no longer blocks the urethra. The urologist inserts a cystoscope through the urethra to determine the precise area(s) of prostate tissue to be pulled back. Then a small needle is inserted through the sheath to stitch the tissues. This is an ideal procedure for men with a small to moderate size prostate gland who want to preserve their ejaculatory function.

What are the benefits of Urolift™?

  • Same-day procedure.
  • Insertion of a catheter is often unnecessary.
  • Immediate improvement in urinary flow and preservation of ejaculatory function.
  • There is no cutting, heating, or removal of prostate tissue.
  • Patients are able to return to their ordinary daily activities in 24-48 hours.
