About Testicular Implant

A testicular implant, or testicular prosthesis, is a surgical procedure performed by a urologist to restore the appearance and psychological well-being of the scrotum after the loss of a testicle. This loss can occur due to conditions like testicular cancer, trauma, torsion, or congenital absence (anorchia). The procedure involves placing a silicone-filled, saline-filled, or solid silicone prosthesis into the scrotal sac through a small incision, typically in the groin or scrotum itself. It is an outpatient surgery performed under general or regional anesthesia. The implant is designed to mimic the natural size, weight, and feel of a testicle, helping to improve body image and self-confidence. It is a safe and effective option for men seeking cosmetic and psychological restoration following orchiectomy.

PATIENT REVIEW

My dad was admitted to MGM...

My dad was admitted to MGM with a bad fever and we were all worried. Dr. Ramya Shri was the one who really talked to us. She didn't just give medical updates; she explained things in a way we could understand, told us what to watch for at home, and actually listened to our concerns. It made a stressful time much easier to handle.
