The Greenlight laser--a high powered laser used for Benign Prostate Hyperplasia--was used for the first time in Canada in Newmarket, Ontario by Dr. Liquornik BSc MDCM FRCSC in 2003. The laser is proving to eliminate hospital stay, decrease the catheter indwelling time from one week to less than 28 hours, decrease pain and suffering and make repeat procedures something rare. The laser melts away the prostate and leaves a urethra that is unscathed by the effects of the laser because the beam concentrates on the overgrown prostatic tissue only. The patients are very satisfied and back to normal routines in one to two days.
绿激光——一种用于治疗良性前列腺增生的高功率激光——2003年由安大略省纽马克特的利夸尼克博士（理学学士、医学博士、加拿大皇家外科医学院院士）首次在加拿大使用。事实证明，这种激光可以避免住院，将导尿管留置时间从一周减少到不到28小时，减轻疼痛和痛苦，并且很少需要重复手术。该激光能消融前列腺，由于光束仅聚焦于过度生长的前列腺组织，所以留下的尿道未受激光影响。患者非常满意，一到两天就能恢复正常生活。
