There are several types of castration. The surgical removal of both the testicles is called a bilateral orchiectomy. This includes a simple castration through the scrotum or a "radical" inguinal orchiectomy which is done from above.

There is also castration done with a clamp that causes the testicles to lose their blood supply. This is only done on animals.

Finally there is chemical castration which involves taking antiandrogens to shut down testicular function.
