Percutaneous means
through the skin. Brachytherapy and cryotherapy are
examples of minimally invasive surgeries used for the
treatment of prostate cancer. Ultrathin needles puncture
the skin of the perineum and treat the prostate gland.
Prostate cancer treatment that uses brachytherapy and
cryotherapy minimizes the surgical insult to the body
by avoiding a large incision.
