At The Smith Institute for Urology at Lenox Hill We Offer Every Option for BPH
Many other urology departments treat every patient “like a nail” - they perform only one or a few of the available BPH treatment options, so every patient gets their “hammer”

You can think of BPH surgery as removing the CENTER of a fruit or nut, not the whole thing! This walnut is a good analogy ….BPH surgery is like removing the edible nut in the middle, while leaving the outer part.
This results in a wide open channel for urine to pass through. Since the nerves to your penis are OUTSIDE of the shell, it is extremely rare for side effects like erection problems.
