When Can Testicular Prosthesis Be Inserted?

The testicular prosthesis or implant is typically placed either as a separate procedure in men who have lost one or two testicles to such conditions as testicular torsion, testicular cancer, undescended testicle, or who have undergone orchiectomy for any other reason such as treatment for prostate cancer, testicular pain, or testicular trauma.  Very rarely, severe testicular infection such as tuberculosis can necessitate the removal of a testicle.   Men who were born without a testis can also have a testicular implant placed in the scrotum.

A testicular implant or prosthesis can also be placed simultaneously during the procedure that removes the native testicle (orchiectomy).  We know that it is safe to place a testicular implant at the same time as orchiectomy for men with testicular cancer, testicular torsion, and other conditions that necessitate orchiectomy.  The only exception when a testicular implant cannot be placed simultaneously with the removal of the testicle is when the testicle is removed for treatment of a severe infection, which is very rare.

Surgery for Testicular Prosthesis

There are a few different approaches to testicular implantation.  Most commonly, a testicular prosthesis is placed through a scrotal, sub-inguinal, or inguinal incision.  The choice of incision is guided partially by anatomy as well as by the situation.

If a testicular prosthesis is implanted at the time of orchiectomy (removal of the testicle), the implant is placed through the same incision.  When orchiectomy is performed for the treatment of testicular cancer, an inguinal incision is usually made.

When a testicular implant is placed as an elective procedure, often a scrotal incision is used.  However, in patients with undeveloped hemi-scrotum (scrotum that has not developed on the side of the missing testicle), a low inguinal or sub-inguinal incision allows more flexibility in the placement of the testicular prosthesis in an ideal, low scrotal location.

I prefer a sub-inguinal location of the incision to minimize the risk of infection and testicular implant extrusion.  This also keeps the scrotum and the testicular prosthesis away from the incision site.
