Leading the way in urology

Dr. Michael Fountain, a urologist in Tavares, has been performing urological surgery at Florida Hospital Waterman for 19 months. During that time, he has worked closely with hospital administrators to bring in cutting-edge technology.

One example is the Plasma Button, which treats benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), more commonly known as enlarged prostate. Men with this condition often experience a weak urinary stream, dribbling after urination, and frequent urination. With this minimally invasive procedure, Dr. Fountain uses low-temperature plasma energy to remove enlarged prostate tissue, resulting in better flow of urine.

Dr. Fountain is also excited about a diagnostic procedure known as narrow band imaging (NBI). This optical image enhancement technology enhances the visibility of vascular areas and helps him detect abnormal tissue.

“Florida Hospital Waterman is a cutting-edge facility,” Dr. Fountain says. “Bringing in these technologies is further proof that the hospital is fully invested in making sure patients receive the best care possible.”
