Radical Inguinal Orchiectomy

This procedure involves removing the diseased testicle through an inguinal approach, with the option of implanting a testicular prosthesis if desired. Typically performed under general anesthesia, the spermatic cord is dissected and ligated high through an inguinal incision, and the testicle and surrounding tissues are removed en bloc. The specimen is sent for pathological evaluation. The procedure emphasizes hemostasis and tissue protection, and a drain may be placed. Postoperative monitoring focuses on pain, bleeding, and scrotal swelling. The goal is to remove the primary lesion and obtain staging information. The above is general health information and not medical advice; specific details are subject to specialist evaluation and hospital protocols.
