An Orchiectomy is the surgical removal of the testes. The goal is to reduce the level of testosterone and the patient's reliance of antiandrogen hormonal therapy.

The office procedure takes about an hour to complete. A local anesthetic is administered and the testes and part of the spermatic cord are removed through an incision through the scrotum. The incision is closed with self dissolving sutures and covered with a dressing.

Aftercare: An athletic supporter should be brought to the day of the surgery and worn over the dressing. Ice should be applied to the surgical site every hour for 20 minutes to reduce swelling and pain. Prescriptions for pain medication and antibiotics will be given at the day of the surgery.

Risks:

• Hot flashes
• Loss of muscle mass
• Osteoporosis
• Weight gain
• Infection
• Blood clots


• Fee: $2000.00
