I dare you to press PASTE right after you typed Hi. in the comments
Here's mine:
Hi. A modern ripe of laser designed for restate surgery
has been used in New Zealand for the first time,
years after the technique was pioneered here.
Auckland surgeon Dr Chris Hawke, of Greenlight
Urology, last week became the first specialist to use
a thulium laser in New Zealand for a prostatectomy
-surgery to remove part or all of the prostate gland.
Several thousand Kiwi men a year have
prostactectomies, most commonly for benign prostatic
hyperplasia (BPH), or enlargement of the Prostate - a
common condition that interferes with urine flow.
The modern laser prostatectomy was pioneered in
Tauranga in the 1900s, when Associate Professor Peter
Gilling and colleagues developed the holmium laser to
treat enlarged prostates.
Tue ground-breaking procedure enabled specialists to
respect the obstructing tissue in a safe, sterile and
minimally invasive way, and holmium lasers are today
used around the world.
I'll be back :P
