Patient Profile
Bill had open heart surgery two years ago, receiving four bypass grafts. His physician considers Bill to be in very poor health and would be hesitant to perform any surgical intervention on him requiring general anesthesia. In addition, Bill's BPH has progressively worsened over the years and the slow urinary flow is bothersome to him.

Bill chose the UroLume procedure because placement does not require him to stay on his back for over an hour—just a 10-30-minute outpatient procedure. It increased his urine flow, so now he can urinate more freely.

This scenario is based upon a composite of typical patient and physician experiences, and is not reflective of any one individual's medical situation. Individual situations and results may vary.
