RAK Hospital has expanded its urological services to include the innovative UroLift procedure for prostate enlargement. The UroLift procedure is a minimally invasive treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) that aims to provide significant relief from symptoms such as urinary frequency, urgency, weak stream, and urinary retention. Unlike traditional surgeries, the UroLift procedure does not involve cutting, heating, or removing tissue, allowing for a quicker recovery time and preserving sexual function and ejaculation. By offering this cutting-edge treatment, RAK Hospital is enhancing its urological care services and setting a new standard in prostatic treatments.
BPH is a common condition that affects aging men, and its prevalence increases with age. The symptoms of BPH can severely impact quality of life, making effective treatment essential. The UroLift procedure offers a non-invasive solution that aims to improve patients’ quality of life and allow them to resume normal activities without the need for ongoing medications and their side effects. By addressing the underlying cause of BPH and restoring normal urine flow, the UroLift procedure provides effective symptom relief with minimal recovery time.
The addition of esteemed urology pioneers Dr. Keshavamurthy Mohan and Dr. Karthik Rao to the team at RAK Hospital further strengthens the hospital’s position as a leader in urological care in the MENA region. Dr. Raza Siddiqui, Executive Director of RAK Hospital, expressed pride in welcoming these renowned experts, highlighting their exceptional surgical skills and extensive expertise in the UroLift procedure. The hospital’s commitment to providing personalized care and patient consultation ensures that individuals receive informed decisions and tailored treatment plans for their urological issues.
In addition to the UroLift procedure, RAK Hospital’s urological services now include Bipolar TURP, Laser Prostatectomy, REZUM, and other advanced treatments. This expansion not only benefits the local community but also extends to regional and African patients who previously sought treatment abroad. Dr. Siddiqui emphasized the hospital’s potential to attract medical tourists seeking advanced urological procedures, solidifying its reputation as a premier healthcare destination. With a focus on personalized care and cutting-edge treatments, RAK Hospital’s Urology Department is dedicated to providing exceptional care for a wide range of urinary tract and male reproductive organ issues.
Dr. Karthik Rao, Consultant Urologist at RAK Hospital, highlighted the effectiveness of the UroLift procedure in providing significant symptom relief for BPH. With about 50% of men between 51 and 60 and up to 90% of men older than 80 affected by BPH, effective treatments like the UroLift procedure are essential for improving quality of life in aging men. By offering innovative treatments and personalized care, RAK Hospital is at the forefront of urological care, providing patients with access to cutting-edge procedures and expert urologists. Whether diagnosing prostate conditions, treating kidney stones, or addressing incontinence, the urology team at RAK Hospital is dedicated to improving patients’ health and well-being.
