Has anyone heard about the Urolift Procedure being done for someone who has a small medium lobe?

I have had BPH for close to 10 years and have been waiting for a new procedure without side effects like the Urolift.  MY prostate has a small meddium lobe.  It is not recommended for this procedure to be done for men with a medium lobe as the lobe can still block the urethra.  I was wondering if anyone knows of someone who has had the Urolift done with a small medium lobe?  Perhaps the urologist can remove that first? If someone does know of this being done, I would like to get the name of the doctor.   Thanks!

Hello.  I had the urolift done 3 weeks ago.  Don't know about what kind of lobes I had.  All I know is that when my doctor put the scope in and hit my prostate it hurt like hell My prostate was cutting off the pee and had to force my self.  He put in 4 implants and now I am peeing great no forceing and no getting up at night.  Also on no pills thank gods the side effects were bad.  I live in orlando and I trust my doctor in doing what is best for me.  The doctor also told me the prostate is compressable thats why thy can do the urolift should last at least 10 years or more  Take care look it up aand find another doctor  Ken

That is great Kenneth  that you are having so much success with your Urolift procedure.  I have a small medium lobe on my prostate.  I have talked to one Urologist who pioneered the procedure in the trials and says it cannot be done for someone who has a medium lobe.  I would like to ask your doctor his opinion.  If you would please provide his name that would be great.   Thanks,  Terry
