What is Orchidectomy?
Orchidectomy involves surgically removing the testicle(s) through a small incision in the groin or scrotum, depending on the indication. This procedure can be unilateral (one testicle) or bilateral (both testicles). It may be performed to treat malignancies, alleviate pain, or manage certain hormonal conditions.
Why is Orchidectomy Performed?
- To treat testicular cancer or tumors
- To manage severe testicular trauma or infection not responsive to other treatments
- As part of androgen deprivation therapy for prostate cancer
- For other rare urological or endocrinological conditions requiring removal of testicular tissue
Types of Orchidectomy
- Simple Orchidectomy: Removal of the testicle through a scrotal incision, typically for benign conditions.
- Radical Inguinal Orchidectomy: Removal of the testicle and spermatic cord via an inguinal incision, primarily for testicular cancer to prevent spread.
- Subcapsular Orchidectomy: Removal of testicular tissue leaving the tunica albuginea intact, used in some hormone therapy cases.
