Inguinal Orchidectomy

An orchiectomy is a surgery which is done to remove one or both of your testicles. It’s commonly performed to treat or prevent prostate cancer from spreading. An orchiectomy can treat or prevent testicular cancer and breast cancer in men, too. It’s also often done before sexual reassignment surgery (SRS) if you’re a transgender woman making the transition from male to female.

Types of Orchidectomy

Simple orchiectomy- Where inone or both testicles are removed through a small cut in your scrotum. This may be done to treat breast cancer or prostate cancer if your doctor wants to limit the amount of testosterone that your body makes.
Radical inguinal orchiectomy- One or both testicles are removed through a small cut in the lower part of your abdominal area instead of your scrotum. This could be done if you’ve found a lump in your testicle and your doctor wants to test your testicular tissue for cancer. Doctors may prefer to test for cancer using this surgery because a regular tissue sample, or biopsy, can make cancer cells more likely to spread.This type of surgery may also be a good option for a transition from male to female.
Subcapsular orchiectomy-The tissues around the testicles are removed from the scrotum. This allows you to keep your scrotum intact so that there’s no outward sign that anything has been removed.
Bilateral orchiectomy- Both testicles are removed. This may be done if you have prostate cancer, breast cancer, or are transitioning from male to female.

Preparations

Your doctor may take blood samples to make sure you’re healthy enough for surgery and to test for any indicators of cancer.
Tell your doctor about any medications or dietary supplements that you’re taking.

During Surgery

Your surgeon will lift your penis and tape it to your abdomen. Then, they’ll make an incision either on your scrotum or the area right above your pubic bone on your lower abdomen. One or both testicles are then cut out from the surrounding tissues and vessels, and removed through the incision. Then surgeon will use clamps to prevent your spermatic cords from gushing blood. They may put in a prosthetic testicle to replace the one that’s removed. Then, they’ll wash the area with a saline solution and sew the incision shut.

Recovery

Wear a scrotal support for the first 48 hours after the surgery if instructed to by your doctor or nurse.
Use ice to reduce swelling in your scrotum or around the incision.
Wash the area gently with a mild soap when you bathe.
Keep your incision area dry and covered in gauze for the first few days.
Use any creams or ointments following your doctor’s instructions.
Take nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) for your pain.
Avoid straining during bowel movements. Drink lots of water and eat high-fiber foods to keep bowel movements regular. You can also take a stool softener.
It can take two weeks to two months to fully recover from an orchiectomy. Don’t lift anything over 10 pounds for the first two weeks or have sex until the incision has fully healed. Avoid exercise, sports, and running for four weeks after surgery.
