The surgery can be performed for various reasons: treatment for testicular cancer as part of gender-affirming surgery for transgender women and non-binary people as management for advanced prostate cancer to remove damaged testes after testicular torsion. after a trauma or complex rupture of the tunica albuginea. as a treatment for post-vasectomy pain syndrome.

A nephrectomy is the surgical removal of a kidney, performed to treat a number of kidney diseases including kidney cancer. It is also done to remove a normal healthy kidney from a living or deceased donor, which is part of a kidney transplant procedure.

It is an interventional radiology/surgical procedure in which the renal pelvis is punctured whilst using imaging

Lithotomy from Greek for "lithos" (stone) and "tomos" (cut), is a surgical method for removal of calculi, stones formed inside certain organs, such as the urinary tract (kidney stones), bladder (bladder stones), and gallbladder (gallstones), that cannot exit naturally through the urinary system or biliary tract. The procedure is usually performed by means of a surgical incision (therefore invasive). Lithotomy differs from lithotripsy, where the stones are crushed either by a minimally invasive probe inserted through the exit canal, or by an acoustic pulse (extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy

Vasovasostomy (literally connection of the vas to the vas) is a surgery by which vasectomies are partially reversed. Another surgery for vasectomy reversal is vasoepididymostomy.

Nephropexy is the surgical intervention aiming to reposition and fixate a floating or mobile kidney. This is done in order to prevent its descent (nephroptosis) or to deliberately move the kidney downward in order to compensate for a shortened ureter. While the procedure originally followed an open approach, minimally invasive laparoscopic nephropexies are standard nowadays.
