On July 17, John Deion took a significant step towards reclaiming his quality of life by undergoing Aquablation therapy at South County Health. This innovative procedure, performed by South County Health Urologist Katelyn Johnson, MD, uses the precision of water combined with robotic control to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) also known as enlarged prostate, a common condition in men that can have a significant negative impact on quality of life.
When John first shared his story in early August, he wrote “it is now two weeks since my Aquablation procedure. Though I am aware that there is still more time for a complete recovery, I would like to note I am back to most of my normal activities. I have no discomfort and have already experienced some notable improvements as compared to before the surgery. I would highly recommend anyone suffering from the BPH symptoms I experienced to investigate this procedure. The mailing, information in the South County Health newsletter last year, and the online seminar were instrumental in getting me to learn more about this procedure and make my decision to move forward. I am very pleased with the way Dr. Johnson managed the consulting process before I elected to move forward with this procedure. I feel very fortunate that she was my surgeon.”
"Aquablation offers a unique advantage for patients like John," Dr. Johnson explains. "The combination of robotic technology with the natural power of water allows us to target and treat the affected area with a high degree of accuracy, reducing the risk of complications and improving recovery times. Our goal is to provide patients with relief and a swift return to normal activities, and Aquablation has proven to be an excellent option."
John’s procedure went smoothly, and his recovery has been a testament to the effectiveness of Aquablation therapy.
South County Health’s commitment to offering cutting-edge treatments like Aquablation ensures that patients like John receive the highest level of care, tailored to their specific needs. With Dr. Johnson’s expertise and the advanced technology available at South County Health, John’s story is just one of many successful outcomes that highlight the transformative power of modern medical innovation.
