Everything about Inguinal Orchiectomy totally explained
Inguinal orchiectomy is a relatively minor
surgical procedure to remove a
testicle. The procedure is generally performed by a
urologist. Often it's performed as same-day surgery, with the patient returning home within hours of the procedure. Some patients elect to have a prosthetic testicle inserted into their
scrotum.
A 6cm incision is made above the
pubic bone on the side corresponding to the testicle to be removed. The testicle is then pulled up through the
inguinal canal, the
spermatic cord is clamped off in two places and cut between the clamps.
The inguinal orchiectomy is a necessary procedure if
testicular cancer is suspected.
If the orchiectomy is performed to diagnose cancer, the testicle and spermatic cord are then sent to a
pathologist to determine the makeup of the
tumor, and the extent of spread within the testicle and cord.
The pathology report, along with pre-surgical imaging studies and
tumor markers, will determine the course of treatment.
