THUNDER BAY — The forward-thinking and proactive work of a doctor and his team is putting Thunder Bay on the international map when it comes to treating enlarged prostates and kidney stones.
"[Patients have] felt it's life-changing; they'll be able to go home the same day with no catheter," said Elmansy, adding that by using this specific machine, there is no re-treatment for those with enlarged prostates compared to using the first version of the device. Registered nurse Jill Skogberg has been working with Elmansy for the past six years, but she's been in operating rooms for almost 20. She notes that it's a whole new ball game with this laser.
With all of the benefits to patients, the hospital also sees improved patient care, lower surgery-per-patient costs and shorter wait times for those seeking treatment.
