What are the types of minimally invasive urological treatment?

The minimally invasive treatments dealing with urological problems include:

• Laparoscopic nephrectomy: This deals with kidney issues and lets a surgeon remove the infected part of a kidney with just a small incision.
• Prostate brachytherapy (seed implants): This is one of the most constructive treatments for prostate cancer. In this technique, surgeons implant the seed which delivers a high dose of radiation to the specific tumor. Through this technique the chances of damaging nearby tissues are very less. 
• Percutaneous nephrolithotomy: This technique is for removing kidney stones via a keyhole cut and using high frequency sound waves. 
• Robotic-assisted prostatectomy: This technique is used to treat prostate cancer. It has an advantage over other techniques as it can preserve potency and bladder control.
• Minimally invasive surgery for pelvic organ prolapse
• Vaginal and urethral reconstruction
• Orchiopexy: This surgery is for men to resolve testicular torsion.
• Endoscopy: It is a minimally invasive procedure which helps a urologist to examine the internal organs and tissues by utilizing an endoscope, and providing diagnostic evaluation of the bladder, kidneys and ureter.
