Dr. Aaron Berger Performs His 500th UroLift Procedure.
Associated Urological Specialists (AUS) is proud to announce that Dr. Aaron Berger has successfully performed his 500th UroLift procedure for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH). This remarkable achievement places Dr. Berger among a select group of only five surgeons in the entire state of Illinois to reach this milestone.
Even more impressive, Associated Urological Specialists is home to not one, but two surgeons who have achieved this extraordinary feat – Dr. Berger and Dr. Mark Lyon. This speaks volumes about AUS’s commitment to providing cutting-edge, minimally invasive treatments for BPH. Dr. Berger had reached his 300th UroLift milestone earlier in November of 2020.
The goal of the UroLift System treatment is to relieve symptoms of an enlarged prostate quickly and effectively so the patient can get back on track and resume daily activities. The UroLift System is a straightforward outpatient treatment that can be performed under local anesthesia in a doctor’s office. It is the only leading enlarged prostate procedure that does not require cutting, heating or removal of prostate tissue. It is also the only leading enlarged prostate procedure shown to not cause sexual dysfunction.
Dr. Berger has maintained his UroLift Center of Excellence (COE) designation since 2019, a testament to his expertise and dedication to patient care. In fact, AUS boasts a total of five COE-designated surgeons: Drs. Aaron Berger, Michael Herzog, Mark Lyon, Antonio Mancini, and Ike Oguejiofor.
The UroLift COE designation is awarded to physicians who have demonstrated exceptional skill and experience in utilizing the UroLift System to treat symptoms associated with enlarged prostate. This minimally invasive procedure offers a quick and effective solution, allowing patients to return to their daily lives without the downtime associated with traditional treatments.
Dr. Berger’s achievement is a testament to his skill, experience, and dedication to providing exceptional care for his patients. Dr. Berger also serves a the Chief Medical Officer and is the Director of Clinical Research. AUS is honored to have him as part of our team.
