What makes Goldman's BPH Revision Surgery Clinic special?

Revision surgery for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is often harder than the first operation. The previous surgery has usually altered the structures around the prostate, so the exact cause of recurrence must be found and a surgical strategy redesigned for the patient. Even the same revision procedure can turn out differently depending on how the cause is diagnosed and which method is chosen. Goldman Urology therefore runs a dedicated BPH Revision Surgery Clinic that proceeds step by step, from analyzing the cause of recurrence to designing a customized revision. First, detailed testing pinpoints the cause — regrowth of residual enlarged tissue, bladder neck contracture, or urethral stricture — and the treatment direction is set to the patient's condition. This matters because the revision approach differs by cause. Next, the right method is chosen for the situation — additional resection of remaining enlarged tissue, correction of bladder neck contracture, or treatment of urethral stricture — with a customized strategy that accounts for anatomical changes left by the previous surgery. For patients whose symptoms persist after a Prostatic Urethral Lift (UroLift), we can also perform specialized revisions such as implant removal, covering a wide range of cases. This stepwise system — precise diagnosis of the cause, a surgical method suited to the patient, and specialized revision procedures — defines the Goldman BPH Revision Surgery Clinic.

How do you choose a hospital that is good at BPH revision surgery?

When choosing a hospital for BPH revision surgery, make sure it does more than operate again: it should accurately analyze the cause of recurrence and plan around the anatomical changes from the previous surgery. Revision surgery is often harder than the first operation, so results vary with the team's experience and strategy. Consider these criteria together.- Care by a board-certified urologist experienced in BPH revision surgery- Precise diagnosis of the cause of recurrence (residual enlarged tissue, bladder neck contracture, urethral stricture, etc.)- A system that selects the right revision strategy based on the previous surgical method- Experience with specialized revisions such as implant removal BPH revision often cannot be solved by simply removing remaining tissue again; structural changes such as bladder neck contracture or urethral stricture may also be present, so accurate cause analysis is essential. At Goldman Urology, for example, once detailed testing identifies the cause, the revision suited to the patient is applied step by step — additional resection of residual enlarged tissue, correction of bladder neck contracture, or treatment of urethral stricture. For patients whose symptoms persist because of implants after UroLift, our strategy also includes implant removal. A hospital with accurate diagnosis of the cause and broad revision experience gives you more reliable results.

Isn't UroLift implant removal dangerous?

Implant removal is harder than an ordinary procedure, and minimizing damage to surrounding tissue is vital. Still, an experienced, skilled medical team can perform it safely. Thorough consultation and accurate diagnosis before surgery minimize risk, so check the medical team's experience and expertise when choosing a hospital.

How long does UroLift implant removal take?

Removal time varies greatly with the patient's condition, where the implants sit, and how firmly they have adhered to surrounding tissue. It can be more demanding than ordinary prostate surgery and take longer than expected. Confirm the expected duration with the medical team before surgery.

How long is the recovery period after BPH revision surgery?

Recovery varies considerably from person to person, but if all goes smoothly you can usually return to daily life fairly quickly. Hospital stays also depend on the surgical site, but under an experienced medical team's systematic care they tend to be short. If you notice any discomfort or unusual symptoms during recovery, consult the medical team right away.

The 3 cases that call for revision surgery after BPH surgery

If voiding discomfort or pain persists after BPH surgery, prostate tissue changes or a stricture must be checked, and revision surgery may be needed.

When the prostate tissue has regrown
When complications have occurred after surgery
When the previous treatment was not effective enough

Extra care is needed!
The decisive reasons revision surgery is harder

BPH revision surgery is more difficult than the first operation.

Because tissue that has already been operated on must be handled again, accurate diagnosis of the cause, the choice of surgical method, and revision surgery experience largely determine the outcome.

01
Accurate
diagnosis of the cause of recurrence
Recurrence can have different causes: the prostate tissue has regrown, a complication (bladder neck or urethral stricture) has developed, or the previous treatment was not effective enough.
Because the cause differs from patient to patient, an accurate diagnosis through detailed tests is essential.
02
The right
choice of surgical method
The surgical strategy can change completely depending on the situation: removing remaining prostate tissue, incising a bladder neck stricture or treating a urethral stricture.
That is why it matters to be treated at a clinic that can perform every technique.
03
Extensive
revision surgery experience
Tissue that has already been operated on may have an altered anatomy.
So the surgeons' experience with a wide range of revision cases is crucial.

Prostate UroLift implant removal

Recently, many patients have been having revision surgery because of discomfort or insufficient results after a prostatic urethral lift (UroLift). Before deciding on revision surgery, however, it is most important to assess the two points below accurately.
This is because the implants are anchored deep in the prostate tissue and the anatomy has changed since the procedure, so advanced skill and experience are required.

01Whether the symptoms are caused by the implants

02Whether the previous procedure has changed the anatomy

Every type of BPH surgery
is available here!

The right surgery for BPH depends on the size, location and shape of the prostate, as well as the patient's symptoms and any complications.That is why surgery should never be chosen based only on what you hear from others.

Based on each patient's condition, Goldman tailors the right surgery to the individual— rather than relying on a single device or technique, we have built a system that can perform every type of BPH surgery.

Patient-tailored revision surgery — Goldman's surgical solutions

Revision surgery after implant removal calls for even greater caution.
At Goldman, where surgery can be tailored to the site and pattern of the problem, experienced medical staff perform surgery optimized for each patient.

HoLEP

A holmium laser separates and removes the enlarged prostate tissue in one piece, so recurrence, side effects and complications are markedly low.

iTind

iTind is a state-of-the-art, minimally invasive procedure that widens the narrowed urethra with a prostatic stent, removed within 3–5 days.

The urethra stays expanded afterward, so urination proceeds normally.

Get your BPH revision surgery questions answered now.

Goldman's know-how gives clear answers to patients' questions.

BPH revision surgery is often more difficult than the first operation, and the structures around the prostate have often been altered by the previous surgery, so it is important to accurately analyze the cause of recurrence and redesign a surgical strategy suited to the patient's condition. Even for the same revision surgery, treatment results can differ depending on how the cause is diagnosed and which surgical method is chosen.

With these characteristics in mind, Goldman Urology Clinic operates a BPH Revision Surgery Clinic that proceeds step by step, from analyzing the cause of recurrence to designing a customized revision surgery.

First, precise testing identifies the cause of recurrence — regrowth of residual enlarged tissue, bladder neck contracture, urethral stricture, and so on — and we set a treatment direction suited to the patient.This matters because the revision approach differs by cause.We then choose the suitable method — additional resection of the remaining enlarged tissue, correction of bladder neck contracture, treatment of urethral stricture, and so on — applying a customized strategy that accounts for anatomy altered by the previous surgery.

In addition, for symptoms that persist after a prostatic urethral lift (UroLift), we have a treatment system capable of performing even specialized revision procedures such as implant suture removal, allowing us to respond to a wide range of revision cases. This step-by-step treatment system, from precise diagnosis of the cause of recurrence, to selecting the surgical method suited to the patient's condition, to specialized revision surgery, is what defines Goldman's BPH Revision Surgery Clinic.
When choosing a hospital for BPH revision surgery, it is important to confirm not simply that they will operate again, but that they can accurately analyze the cause of recurrence and build a treatment plan that accounts for the anatomical changes left by the previous surgery. Revision surgery is often more difficult than the first operation, so outcomes can vary depending on the medical team's experience and surgical strategy.

Therefore, it helps to also review the following criteria.
- Whether a urology specialist provides care and has experience with BPH revision surgery - Whether precise diagnosis of the cause of recurrence (residual enlarged tissue, bladder neck contracture, urethral stricture, etc.) is possible - Whether they can select a revision strategy suited to the previous surgical method - Whether they have experience handling special revision cases such as UroLift implant removal

In particular, BPH revision surgery often cannot be resolved simply by removing the remaining tissue again, and structural changes such as bladder neck contracture or urethral stricture may occur along with it, so accurate analysis of the cause is important.

At Goldman Urology, for example, precise testing identifies the cause of recurrence, then revision methods suited to the patient — resecting residual enlarged tissue, correcting bladder neck contracture, treating urethral stricture — are applied step by step.And when symptoms persist because of the implants after a UroLift (prostatic urethral lift), our treatment strategy also includes UroLift implant removal.
