Is sexual function lost after prostate surgery?
One of the main concerns when undergoing any type of surgery is to know the problems or recovery time after the surgery.
In the case of surgery to treat the symptoms of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia, we find that in traditional surgeries, transurethral resection or prostatectomy, the appearance of erectile dysfunction, urinary incontinence and retrograde ejaculation are common.
In the case of laser surgery, retrograde ejaculation also appears due to the elimination of prostate tissue, while the rest of the symptoms are rare.

Faced with all this, some men prefer to live with the annoying symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia rather than lose sexual function. Faced with all this, prostate surgery with urethral release (Urolift System) is the only surgical technique that currently makes it possible to eliminate the symptoms of an obstructive prostate while maintaining the patient's full sexual function. In many cases, patients themselves report improvements in erectile function after surgery.
Why is sexual function preserved with urethral release prostate surgery (Urolift System)?
The main reason why full sexual function is preserved after the Urethral Release Prostate surgery (Urolift System) is the fact that there is no tissue damage by using the urethra as the entry orifice and not requiring resection of the urethral prostate tissue.
The success of this surgery lies in the fact that the urethral duct is cleared by compressing the urethral prostatic tissue into the capsular prostatic tissue and holding it there with the use of an implant. This, performed on both sides of the prostate, allows the correct flow of urine again and consequently the elimination of the symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia.
