Orchiectomy is the removal of the testicle. Performed often for suspected testicular cancer, in which case an inguinal orchiectomy is performed so the surgeon can also resect the retroperitoneal lymph nodes. For non-cancerous lesions including trauma or testicular torsion, the testicle is removed through the scrotum. A testicular prosthesis may be inserted. | |||

Orchiectomy is the removal of the testicle. Performed often for suspected testicular cancer, in which case an inguinal orchiectomy is performed so the surgeon can also resect the retroperitoneal lymph nodes. For non-cancerous lesions including trauma or testicular torsion, the testicle is removed through the scrotum. A testicular prosthesis may be inserted.
