Dr. Rahul Mehan, an innovative urology leader, joins us today to share his experience with the Vanquish Water Vapor Ablation System, a new approach to prostate tissue ablation that uses the thermal energy stored in water vapor to ablate prostate tissue through a transurethral outpatient procedure.
Dr. Mehan is a nationally recognized expert in minimally invasive urologic treatments. He founded East Valley Urology Center in Mesa, Arizona, where he brings innovative technology and state-of-the-art care to his patients. Dr. Mehan has built a strong social media presence. His content is both educational and entertaining. He is often invited nationwide to teach and demonstrate surgical techniques.
Stay tuned to hear about Dr. Mehan’s experience with the Vanquish Water Vapor Ablation System and how its ability to ablate tissue anywhere within the prostate could help overcome some of the limitations of current ablative therapies.
We’re excited to partner with Francis Medical to bring you today’s episode.
