Testicular Cancer Surgery
Orchiectomy
When lumps appear in the testicles, the chance of being cancerous is high. Therefore a surgeon must remove them with the spermatic cord and testicle through a small cut in the groin. If desired, the surgeon can place artificial testicles in the scrotum to give a natural appearance.
