“…Previously, testicular prostheses include Co-Cr-Mo alloy testicular prosthesis, synthetic resin testicular prosthesis, glass bead testicular prosthesis, dacron testicular prosthesis, polyethylene testicular prosthesis, silica gel testicular prosthesis [12], and tissue engineering cartilage testicular prosthesis [13]. However, the shortcomings of these prostheses include expensive price and susceptibility to postoperative complications such as pain, discomfort, scrotum hematoma, incision infections, and contracture of fibrous capsule around the prosthesis after surgery [14], which limits the development of the implanted testicular prosthesis.…”

Background To explore whether a polypropylene mesh is suitable for application as a new material for testicular prostheses. Methods The data of 65 patients with advanced prostate cancer who underwent surgical castration in hospital were collected and analyzed. Patients who preferred to undergo traditional orchidectomy (n = 16) were assigned to the control group, and patients who underwent subcapsular orchiectomy plus implantation of a polypropylene mesh testicular prosthesis (n = 49) were assigned to the experimental group. The presence of hematoma, infection, and other complications in patients in these two groups were investigated at 3 and 12 months following the surgery. The patients were also followed up using a self-designed testicular castration satisfaction questionnaire. Results A higher score indicated greater satisfaction. The mean score was 15.33 ± 2.85 in the experimental group and 4.63 ± 1.45 in the control group at 3 months after the surgery. The mean score was 14.92 ± 1.74 in the experimental group and 4.25 ± 1.61 in the control group at 12 months after the surgery. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant at the two time points (P < 0.01). Conclusions Compared with orchidectomy alone, patients were more satisfied with subcapsular orchiectomy plus the implantation of a polypropylene mesh testicular prosthesis for the treatment of advanced prostate cancer. Furthermore, the polypropylene mesh testicular prosthesis maintained its original character over the duration of the study, with a good long-term effect. Thus, implantation of a polypropylene mesh testicular prosthesis is indicated to be safe and effective, and polypropylene mesh is potentially useful as a new material for testicular prostheses.

“…11) consists of multiple punctate intratesticular calcifications, usually incidentally detected. 12) can be implanted for cosmetic or psychological reasons, 27 and are evident as well-circumscribed intrascrotal fluid-filled structures similar in size to a normal testicle. Testicular microlithiasis has been associated with testicular neoplasm and also with subfertility, cryptorchidism, Klinefelter syndrome, male pseudohermaphroditism, and pulmonary alveolar microlithiasis.…”

Scrotal symptoms including palpable mass or pain often bring men to medical attention. Ultrasound serves as an extension of the physical examination in these patients and, in most cases, allows definitive diagnosis. Although the diagnosis of malignancy is of greatest concern both to the patient and clinician, a number of benign scrotal pathologies exist and most have characteristic imaging features. Knowledge of these imaging findings can help the radiologist to confidently identify common benign scrotal conditions. Location and imaging characteristics of uncommon lesions help to establish a rational differential diagnosis and appropriate recommendations for patient management.

Absence of one or two testicle due to congenital or acquired reasons creates not only physiological complications, but also cosmetic and psychological problems for males of all ages. These problems can be effectively solved by implantation of testicular prostheses. Current implants in use are made out of a silicone elastomer envelope filled either with saline, silicone gel or solid silicone elastomer. A Pubmed search was carried out for all articles on testicular prosthesis published between 1963 and 2010 for this review. The history and development of testicular prostheses, types of implants, timing of implantation, the surgical techniques and complications, and benefits of implantation of testicular prosthesis were reviewed.
