Passes a scope through the urethra and destroys abnormal tissue at the trigone — the base of the bladder — or at the bladder neck, the prostatic fossa, the urethra itself or the small glands around it, using electrical current, freezing or a laser. Bleeding areas, inflamed patches and growths in those specific locations can all be treated this way. Nothing is cut open; everything is reached through the body's own opening.
