Who is a Candidate for Testicular Implant?<\/h2>\n

\"\"Some men are born without a testicle.  Other men<\/strong> lose a testicle<\/strong> for one reason or another during their life.  Most commonly, men lose a testicle in childhood or adulthood as a result of testicular torsion<\/strong><\/a>.  The testicle may also shrink and become a small scar as a result of infection.  Not as common, men may lose a testicle as a result of trauma<\/strong> or a surgical complication such as after inguinal hernia repair.  Other men may lose a testicle to testicular cancer<\/a><\/strong> or as a result of treatment with orchiectomy<\/strong> for prostate cancer.<\/p>\n

Testis produces testosterone, which is important to men’s general health.  In general, one testicle can produce a sufficient amount of testosterone.  When both testes are non-functioning or missing, testosterone replacement therapy<\/strong><\/a> is usually beneficial.<\/p>\n

Testicular Prosthesis for Men with a Missing Testicle<\/h2>\n

For men who are missing one or both testes, an option to have testicular implants surgically implanted is available. A testicular prosthesis is similar to breast implants that women get.  <\/p>\n

Testicular implants are not required, but they may improve the cosmetic appearance of the scrotum.  Testicular implants come as saline-filled<\/strong> and offer good cosmetic results.  Silicone testicular implants are also available.  Testicular implants come in different sizes<\/strong>, custom-fitted to the patient’s needs.  At New York Urology Specialists, we use a variety of testicular implants. We offer the Coloplast Toroso testicular saline-filled testicular prosthesis as well as solid-silicone implants in a variety of sizes<\/strong>.  The prosthesis helps restore a more natural appearance of the scrotum<\/strong> in males missing one or both testicles. The weight, shape, and soft texture of the testicular prosthesis are designed to resemble the natural anatomical testicle as much as possible.<\/p>\n

\"coloplast-testicular-prosthesis\"<\/a>Choosing to have a prosthetic testicular implant is a personal choice. The testicular implant does not replace a functioning testicle<\/strong>; you may still need testosterone replacement if both testes are missing.  The testicular prosthesis will not<\/strong> help with restoring fertility in men who experience infertility.<\/span><\/p>\n

A testicular prosthesis may help with the self-esteem, self-confidence, and overall psychological well-being<\/strong> of the man.  Studies show that most men are highly satisfied with testicular implants.<\/span><\/p>\n

As with any surgical implant, certain risks exist, such as infection, bleeding, and the need for surgical revision or removal\/replacement of the implant. During your consultation, these will be discussed in greater detail.  For most men, the benefits of testicular implants outweigh the risks<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

At New York Urology Specialists, we offer testicular implants for men who need them.   <\/span>If you have any questions, <\/span>schedule a consultation<\/a>,<\/strong> or if you need a second opinion, please<\/span> contact us<\/b><\/a> for an appointment.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Testicular Implant Surgery at New York Urology Specialists – What to Expect<\/h2>\n

The testicular implant procedure<\/a><\/strong> is performed in a surgical center.  The procedure takes less than 1 hour to perform,<\/strong> and men go home shortly after the procedure.  More than 80% of men do not require any pain medications or take Motrin after the procedure.  Most men are able to return to work the next day.  Men may return to the GYM a few days after the procedure.  Most men may resume sexual activity 2 weeks after the procedure. Men can take a shower the same day after the procedure. <\/p>\n

The testicular prosthesis does not affect the ability to obtain erections and does not affect the ability to ejaculate.  <\/p>\n

At New York Urology Specialists, we treat complications of testicular implant surgery<\/a><\/strong> and offer testicular implant replacement and revision<\/a><\/strong> to men who need it.<\/p>\n

The surgical technique used in testicular implant surgery<\/a><\/strong> can affect the success of the surgery and the need for revision surgery.  It is important to choose an experienced urologist who has extensive experience with testicular implant surgery. The best outcomes are achieved when the initial testicular implant surgery<\/a><\/strong> is performed correctly.  The risks of complications increase with each revision surgery.<\/p>\n

Cost of Testicular Implants and Insurance Coverage<\/h2>\n

Most insurances, including Cigna, Aetna, United Healthcare, and Blue Cross plans, cover the cost of testicular implants for men who have lost a testicle due to a medical condition such as testicular cancer, testicular torsion, and testicular trauma. <\/p>\n

The cost of testicular implants and surgery<\/a><\/strong> are covered for men who have a medical need, in other words, who experience complications of missing testicles such as poor self-esteem, depression, sadness, and difficulty with intimate relationships as a result of a missing testicle.<\/p>\n

We offer affordable rates on testicular implant surgery for men without insurance and to international visitors.<\/p>\n

Testicular Prosthesis in Pictures<\/h2>\n

Testicular prosthesis comes in 4 sizes.  The doctor will usually choose a size that is most similar to your other testicle.<\/p>\n

Preparation for Testicular Implant Surgery at New York Urology Specialists<\/strong><\/h2>\n

At New York Urology Specialists, we make it as safe as possible for patients to undergo testicular implant surgery.<\/p>\n

It is important that there is no existing infection in the scrotal or inguinal area<\/strong> prior to the procedure. If an infection is present, it needs to be treated prior to scheduling the procedure. This is especially applicable to patients with diabetes who have a high risk for a fungal infection or jock itch in the scrotum or groin.<\/p>\n

For patients without pre-existing infection, no antibiotic treatment is necessary prior to arrival at the surgical center or our office. Patients are given a dose of antibiotics immediately prior to the procedure<\/strong> to minimize the risk of infection.<\/p>\n

Diet Before Testicular Implant Surgery<\/strong><\/h2>\n

If your procedure is performed in our office under local anesthesia<\/strong>, you may eat and drink normally before and after the procedure.<\/p>\n

If your procedure is performed under anesthesia in a surgical center or hospital<\/strong>, you may not eat or drink for at least 8 hours before the procedure.<\/p>\n

Shaving and Showering<\/strong><\/h2>\n

We do not<\/strong> advise shaving prior to the procedure. If there is a need to shave the scrotum, it will be performed during the procedure as this minimizes the risk of infection<\/strong>. Patients can take a shower normally before and after the procedure without restrictions.<\/p>\n

Recovery after Testicular Prosthesis<\/h2>\n

Recovery after testicular implant surgery<\/a><\/strong> is usually fairly uneventful.  Most men can go back to physical activities within a few days to a week after the procedure. Detailed instructions are provided before you leave our office.  <\/p>\n
