During an orchiectomy, Dr Kiran Singh will lift the penis and tape it to the abdomen. He will then make an incision on the scrotum or the area right above the pelvic bone on your lower abdomen. Dr Singh will then cut one or both of the testicles out from the surrounding tissues and vessels and remove them through the incision.

Dr Singh will use clamps to prevent your spermatic cords from gushing blood out and he then may put a prosthetic testicle to replace the one that has been removed. He will lastly cleanse the area with saline solution and stitch close the incision.

After the surgery, you will be taken to a recovery ward where you may be advised to wear a scrotal support for the next 48 hours. You will also be advised to keep an ice pack or something cold compressed on your scrotum to ease the swelling, but don’t keep it there for more than 15 minutes. You will be required to wear jockstrap or snug underwear for a few days to also help with the swelling and comfortability. Dr Kiran Singh will prescribe pain medication to ease the pain and stay away from exercising, sexual activities and lifting anything heavy for a while until you get directions from Dr Singh.
