Transl Androl Urol. 2014 Dec;3(4):391-7. doi: 10.3978/j.issn.2223-4683.2014.12.06.

Abstract

Testicular prosthesis placement is a useful important adjunctive reconstructive therapy for managing children with testicular loss or absence. Though these prostheses are functionless, experience has shown that they are extremely helpful in creating a more normal male body image and in preventing/relieving psychological stress in males with a missing testicle. With attention to details of implant technique, excellent cosmetic results can be anticipated in simulating a normal appearing scrotum.

Keywords: Testis prosthesis; prosthetic testicle; testis implant.
