The procedure consists of several carefully executed stages. First, bowel preparation is required, including dietary restrictions and laxatives. For patient comfort, general or regional anesthesia is administered. To prevent freezing injury to the urethra, a catheter is placed. Next, under transrectal ultrasound guidance, the surgeon places cryoprobes into the prostate:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Careful placement of probes.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Freezing initiated using argon gas.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Thawing performed using helium gas.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The final stage is monitoring.
