- W4384201488 abstract "Orchiectomy is the recommended treatment for many testicular conditions. However, testicular prosthesis placement is not always performed for different reasons. In this study, we aimed to evaluate patients’ opinions and the impact on sexual function and quality of life. This retrospective observational single-center study included patients who underwent orchiectomy between January 2014 and December 2020 at the Department of Urology, Braga’s Hospital (Braga, Portugal), where testicular implants were always available and the decision to undergo the procedure was made fully independent of cost. Patients completed four questionnaires that assessed demographic data, satisfaction, self-esteem, and sexual function. Of the 96 patients who underwent orchidectomy, 59 replied to the questionnaires, and of these patients, 86.4% decided to undergo silicone-based testicular prostheses implantation. The remaining 13.6% refused the implant based on concerns about complications (37.5%), because they felt that it was unnecessary (37.5%), or because it was not offered by the doctor (25.0%). Overall, 96.1% of these patients were satisfied with the implant; however, 25.5% classified it as “too firm”. No statistically significant differences were found in sexual function (all P > 0.05). However, it can be observed that there are more patients with prostheses presenting normal sexual activity compared to patients without prostheses (74.0% vs 50.0%), and none of them reported severe erectile dysfunction (0 vs 16.7%). Regarding self-esteem, both patients with and without prostheses present very similar average scores with no statistically significant differences. The present study highlights the highest level of satisfaction among patients who received testicular prostheses. Testicular prostheses implantation is a safe procedure that does not hamper sexual function after orchiectomy." @default.
