A note on Urolift as part of the Surgical Devices and Implant Information system
NHS Digital have been made aware of reports incorrectly associating the UroLift System with the problems surrounding surgical mesh as reported through the Independent Medicines and Medical Devices Safety Review.
We want to make it clear that Urolift is not a product which has been examined as part of the Independent Medicines and Medical Devices Safety Review.
The original requirement for mandatory reporting of Urolift to feed a new Urolift Registry supporting the NHS Accelerated Access Collaborative has now been withdrawn by NHS England.
Details of any surgery involving the implant, revision, replacement of removal of the Urolift System may still be reported to NHS Digital as part of Surgical Devices and Implants reporting on a voluntary basis, as for any class III or class IIb (high risk) implantable medical devices which do not involve surgical mesh.
