| | Radical inguinal orchiectomy for testicular cancer |
 | | In some cases, orchiectomy is followed by additional surgery to remove cancer that has spread or by adjuvant therapies such as chemotherapy or radiation therapy. | | | Orchiectomy surgery is relatively low-risk, and complications are uncommon. | | | After an orchiectomy, the surgeon places the artificial testicle(s) in the scrotum to maintain the natural appearance of the genitals. |

| | Orchiectomy: Is It Right for You? |
| | For those who elect a bilateral orchiectomy at an early age, the reduction in testosterone leads to greater calm and a reduction in risky behaviors. | | | The single negative result of bilateral orchiectomy is sterility, which is, so far, irreversible, although there is on-going research into ways to overcome this single negative result. | | | Without benefit of bilateral orchiectomy the body will naturally produce many times more testosterone than the optimum. |

| | Orchiectomy For Transsexuals |
| | Orchiectomy surgery should be done for personal comfort, not to pressure a doctor or therapist into providing hormones or other treatment. | | | Orchiectomy may result in the shrinkage of the remaining male genitals, especially the scrotum. | | | Before you have any degree of surgery on your genitals, whether a mere orchiectomy or the complete SRS procedure, you must understand that there is a risk that you might never orgasm ever again. |

| | Surgical therapy: Definitive treatment of testicular cancer entails a radical orchiectomy. | | | For example, if a patient presents with testicular enlargement but a history consistent with an orchitis, then, obviously, antibiotic therapy would be indicated prior to surgery. | | | Identify and mobilize the ilioinguinal nerve and separate it so as not to resect it during the radical orchiectomy. |

| | Since the testes are the major source of testosterone in the body, this procedure is classified as hormonal therapy rather than surgical treatment. | | | Advantages: Orchiectomy is an effective procedure that is relatively simple. | | | It may also be combined with radiation therapy or prostatectomy in advanced stages of cancer when the disease has spread locally beyond the prostate (Stages T3-T4). |

| | Testicular Cancer Questions to Ask your Urologist Before an Orchiectomy |
| | The scope of the questions is pretty narrow since there are few choices at this point. | | | The orchiectomy is almost always done before any other treatment is started. | | | It is pretty crude, and there would need to be clear evidence of no cancer before they would forgo the orchiectomy. |
