Is there any alternative to implantation of Testicular Prosthetics?
Although, the testicular prostheses can create or restore a more normal cosmetic appearance of a testes-containing scrotum, the alternative to implant placement is simply no treatment. Not having treatment will require leaving a partially empty or completely empty scrotum. Another alternative (except for men with testicular cancer) is a procedure called subcapsular orchiectomy, which removes the testicle tissue from the capsule. The empty capsule is left in the scrotum. Although this tissue removal provides a smaller scrotal structure, it may be preferable to the alternative of an empty scrotum.
