Overview<\/strong><\/h3>

Orchiectomy<\/strong>, also known as testicle removal surgery<\/strong>, is an important surgical procedure performed to treat conditions affecting the testes, such as testicular cancer, severe trauma, chronic infection, testicular torsion, and hormone-related disorders<\/strong>. In certain cases, orchiectomy is also recommended as part of treatment for prostate cancer or male breast cancer<\/strong>, where reducing testosterone levels helps slow tumour growth.<\/p>

At Sarkar Hospital, Agra<\/strong>, our experienced urologists and surgeons use advanced surgical techniques, including minimally invasive and laparoscopic approaches<\/strong>, to ensure safe outcomes, faster recovery, and comprehensive physical and emotional care. From diagnosis to recovery, we are committed to delivering high-quality, patient-centred treatment.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

What Is Orchiectomy?<\/strong><\/h3>

Orchiectomy is a surgical procedure involving the removal of one or both testicles<\/strong>, which are responsible for producing sperm and the male hormone testosterone<\/strong>.<\/p>

Depending on the underlying condition, orchiectomy may be:<\/p>

  • Curative<\/strong> (removing cancer)<\/p><\/li>

  • Preventive<\/strong> (stopping disease spread)<\/p><\/li>

  • Therapeutic<\/strong> (hormone control or pain relief)<\/p><\/li><\/ul>

    The procedure aims to remove diseased tissue while preserving overall health, hormonal balance, and quality of life whenever possible.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

    Why Is an Orchiectomy Performed?<\/strong><\/h3>

    Orchiectomy is recommended when medications or less invasive treatments are ineffective, or when urgent surgical intervention is required.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    Common Reasons Include:<\/strong><\/h3>

    Testicular Cancer<\/strong><\/h3>

    The most common indication. Removal of the affected testicle prevents cancer spread and allows accurate diagnosis and staging.<\/p>

    Severe Trauma or Injury<\/strong><\/h3>

    In cases where the testicle is irreparably damaged, removal prevents infection and chronic pain.<\/p>

    Testicular Torsion<\/strong><\/h3>

    When blood supply is permanently cut off due to twisting of the spermatic cord, orchiectomy may be necessary to prevent tissue death and infection.<\/p>

    Chronic Infection or Abscess<\/strong><\/h3>

    Persistent infections unresponsive to treatment may require surgical removal.<\/p>

    Hormone-Dependent Cancers<\/strong><\/h3>

    In advanced prostate or male breast cancer<\/strong>, orchiectomy helps reduce testosterone levels to slow tumour growth.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

    The standard procedure for testicular cancer<\/strong>, performed through a groin incision to prevent cancer spread.<\/p>

    Subcapsular Orchiectomy<\/h4>

    Only the inner testicular tissue is removed while preserving the outer covering, mainly to reduce testosterone while maintaining appearance.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
