Who Is Testicle Replacement Right For?

A testicle implant can help restore a natural look and balance. There are a variety of reasons that a person could have lost a testicle. Maybe you overcame a bout with testicular cancer or maybe a childhood injury caused a problem. There are some males who just have a development issue and one never comes in fully. Whatever the reason, it doesn’t matter to us. We want to help restore that feeling of wholeness and normalcy. You don’t have to worry – our doctors have decades of experience between them and we use the FDA approved saline filled prosthesis so you know you’re getting a testicular implant that not only looks good and feels natural, but you’re getting the only one that is currently deemed acceptable by the Food and Drug Administration.

 

The Procedure & The Benefits

The testicles, also called testes, are the two oval-shaped organs situated inside the scrotum. They play various important roles in the male reproductive system, including the production of male hormones such as testosterone and male reproductive cells called sperms. Testicular disorders can cause serious problems on the patient, including infertility, sexual abnormality and hormonal inequities. Further, problems in relation to testicular health can lead to various psychological issues such as low self-esteem and depression. In such cases, the testicular replacement surgery can be a good solution. This treatment can help restore the normal state of the testicles.

Testicular Replacement Procedure

The surgery is usually done during the day, so patients can go home later on the same day, nor overnight stay is required. Patients are advised to get some time off from work until they recover as they will experience a little discomfort following the procedure. General anaesthetics are used during the testicular replacement surgery. meaning, you will be asleep during the operation.

A testicular graft is implanted through a small opening in the scrotum. The graft or implant is usually filled with silicone gel and is similar to a typical testicle in texture and shape. It is not always possible that the graft will match the other testicle exactly. Though, it may result in a more normal testicular appearance.

This is an easy out patient procedure that will only take about an hour in normal circumstances. The patient can normally go home the same day, but we highly recommend bringing along a friend or family member who can drive you home after the procedure. If this isn’t possible you might be asked to stay an additional 2-3 hours at the facility just to stay awake and make sure the after effects of the anesthesia wear off before you drive home.

Full recovery only takes about two to three days but there might be some occasional bouts of soreness and sensitivity for about a month afterwards. The recovery time is generally much shorter and less stressful than most of our patients would have guessed – which is a pleasant surprise for many of them.

Penile Implant Surgery: The Modern Solution to Erectile Dysfunction (ED)

Advanced technology is the field of medical science offers a solution to men who battle with erectile dysfunction (ED). The solution, which is the use of penile prosthesis may seem a bit invasive, but for those who have tried oral and injection treatment and failed, it can be the direct route to an active sex life once again. A penile implants can also be used to correct cases of scarring on the penis during reconstruction after an injury to the genitals. At Moorgate Urology most cases are for those who do not wish to take medication or self inject, or they have had little or no response with these options

Structural Overview of the Prosthesis

Structurally, the penile implant surgery involves the introduction of a device into the penis that will aid with erection during sexual intercourse. These devices can be either a bendable rod or two tubes. The bendable option just offers a simple solution to ED while the tubes bring an advanced surgical solution. Whichever implant the patient might choose, the doctor will ensure that the penis still has other capacities (sensation of touch, and ability to urinate and ejaculate) fully functional. Therefore, fibrous tissues, certain muscles, blood veins, arteries, and nerves will still be functional.

What Option Are Available?

Penile prosthesis come in two main types – inflatable or malleable implants. The latter is the simplest type of prosthesis that involves the use of a malleable rod while the other is a more advanced option.

Malleable (bendable) penile implant

this option involves the insertion of a pair of rods into the corpora cavernosa of the penis. While a malleable penile prosthesis is a simple option that will help with erection, it offer a relatively fix status of erection. The penis might not be completely stiff, but it will be hard enough to allow for penetration during intercourse, with is a factor to consider when opting for the malleable penis. The other drawback is the fact that the implant does not change the length or width of the penis. The patient will have to adjust manually the penis into position by tilting and bending the penis and, therefore, the implanted rods.

Inflatable penile implant 

this option involves the insertion of two tube or cylinders into the penis. The implant comprises of tubes made from an artificial material that expands to give the penis more length and width while making it have a firm erection. The other feature is a chamber that contains a fluid that is used to inflate the tubes to make the penis erect, and two small pumps inserted into the scrotum. The patient will squeeze the pumps to fill and empty the tubes. An inflatable penis offers are more natural look giving the penis the ability to stay flaccid like it normally would on the erection is what will be done manually.

The Risks of Penile Implant Surgery

As is with any surgery, the risk of possible complication cannot be overlooked, some of the notable complication that can arise include scarring and infection after the surgery, mechanical failure, or erosion of the tissue around the implant. Nevertheless, most patients that have has a penile implant say it works though it may not give a completely hard erection or a fuller length as expected, but it suffices. Research shows that around 85% of all men who have had the implants are satisfied with the results, with around 92% of them having the inflatable prosthesis.
