一種增強型綠色光激光系統被設計用于光子選擇性前列腺汽化療法（PVP），尤其是良性前列腺增生。

這套綠色光激光系統已經被重新配制，與新型纖維光學輸送裝置整合，確保醫生能夠更好地通過最大纖維柔韌性進行操作與控制。新特征包括更快速的系統與配制時間以及對纖維操作的實時反應。由優秀的研究人員與醫生開展的最新研究中，比較了PVP與經尿道前列腺切除術，結果證實PVP在治療腫大的前列腺方面具有顯著的優勢。包括TURP安全性大大提高，并對不同類型的患者的不同需要都能夠安全有效地進行治療，例如那些組織易碎的患者、前列腺巨大的患者、接受過稀化血液（blood-thinning）治療的患者。這種操作同時還降低了醫療保健費用。

在2005年5月美國圣安東尼奧舉行的美國泌尿學會年會上介紹了這種新版本的綠色光激光系統。Eric Reuter指出：這套系統適合門診病人，以及經過確證的安全性以及有效性，將推動PVP成為世界范圍內許多有BPH癥狀男性患者的第一位治療選擇。他是Laserscope公司的總裁兼首席執行官，正是該公司研制開發了這套綠色光激光系統。
 
Laser System Treats Enlarged Prostate
 
An enhanced version of the GreenLight laser system is designed for photoselective vaporization of the prostate (PVP), specifically for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).

The GreenLight laser system has been re-engineered and integrated with new fiber-optic delivery devices to provide doctors with better performance through maximum fiber flexibility and control. Faster system and set-up times and real-time response to fiber manipulation are among the new features. New studies by prominent researchers and doctors comparing PVP with trans-urethral resection of the prostate (TURP) confirm the significant benefits of PVP for treating an enlarged prostate. These include substantial improvements in safety over TURP as well as safety and effectiveness for a wide variety of patients with special needs, such as those who are fragile, those with large prostate glands, and those being treated with blood-thinning medications. The procedure also lowers healthcare costs.

The new version of GreenLight was introduced at the annual meeting of the American Urological Association in San Antonio (TX, USA) in May 2005. The outpatient nature of the procedure, combined with a well-demonstrated safety and efficacy profile, is propelling PVP toward the number one position as the treatment of choice for many men around the world exhibiting symptoms of BPH,noted Eric Reuter, president and CEO of Laserscope (San Jose, CA, USA), which developed the GreenLight laser system.
