Orchidectomy

Orchidectomy

Orchidectomy is a surgical procedure to remove one or both testicles. It is a common treatment for testicular cancer or other conditions such as prostate cancer. When performed to treat testicular cancer, the procedure is called a radical inguinal orchidectomy. The term "radical" refers to the removal of the entire spermatic cord along with the testicle, and "inguinal" refers to the removal of the testicle through a small incision in the lower abdomen (groin).

Symptoms: Testicular cancer

Treatment Method in the Hospital: During a general surgery, the surgeon makes a small incision above the male genital area, then pushes the testicle upward and removes the cancerous testicle through the created opening. Fortunately, this surgery does not affect the penis or the other healthy testicle. The doctor then stitches the incision area, and the stitches are removed after one week.

Duration of Stay in Iran: This procedure can be performed on an outpatient basis, or the patient may be hospitalized for one day.
