There is hope:
testicular replacement

If you have had or expect to have one or both of your testicles removed (typically done through a procedure called an orchiectomy), there are many things to consider.

One of the concerns you may have is how your appearance will be affected by the loss of a testicle(s). The absence of a testicle has been shown to be a psychologically traumatic experience for males of all ages¹, but there is hope.

There is a solution available that can restore part of what was lost – the Torosa® testicular implant.

Testicular implants

Testicular implants can help restore part of what was lost and have been shown to reduce the psychological impact resulting from loss or absence of a testicle.¹

They are more than just a cosmetic solution. 50-60% of men reported
improved body image after receiving an implant.²

Testicular implants help maintain the look, feel, and shape of your scrotum. They are placed completely inside the body typically during an outpatient procedure.³

The Torosa testicular implant

There is only one FDA approved testicular implant available –
the Torosa testicular implant. The Torosa implant has been rigorously tested and is available in multiple sizes to help match the size of the testicle(s) that were removed.

Talk to your doctor about the Torosa implant

Following testicle removal, 98% of patients believe it’s important to be offered a testicular implant, but only 47% of them are.^4,5

It’s not too early to ask if a testicular implant is right for you—and share your preferences around your treatment plan including whether the testicular implant can be placed at the same time as the testicle removal.

Important safety information

Torosa^® Saline-Filled Testicular Prostheses Important Safety Information

Torosa Saline-Filled Prosthesis is a surgically implanted artificial testicle designed to replicate the size, shape, and feel of one or two testicles following surgical removal, or the absence of a testicle (agenesis) in males.

Indications

The Coloplast Torosa Saline-Filled Testicular Prosthesis is intended for use when cosmetic testicular replacement is indicated i.e., in the case of agenesis or following the surgical removal of a testicle.

Contraindications

The implantation of testicular prosthetic implants is contraindicated in the presence of infection or abnormal growth (neoplasm).

Warnings

A testicular implant in patients with pre-existing enlargement of the scrotum (varicocele) may result in persistent pain. Due to the nature of silicone implants, testicular implants should not be considered lifetime implants and require replacement surgery over time. Torosa should typically not be implanted in patients with a documented sensitivity to silicone. These patients should discuss the risks of this implant with their physician. Patients with disorders such as lupus, scleroderma and myasthenia gravis should discuss the risks of this implant with their physician. Sepsis, hemorrhage or thrombosis may result from the placement of any foreign object in the body. An oversized implant can lead to potential complications such damage or loss of tissue (necrosis) or foreign body reaction leading to formation of blood clots (thrombosis). Excessive scarring and/or tightening around the implant (capsular formation or contracture) may occur.

Precautions

Discuss all available treatment options with your doctor to understand the risks and benefits of a testicular implant.

Potential Complications

The following device-related and procedure-related events were experienced during the clinical study for this device: discomfort/pain, swelling (edema), extrusion, displacement/migration, hematoma, abnormal tissue formation (keloid, fibrosis, granuloma), implant deflation, fluid accumulation (inguinal area), constipation, numbness/weakness (neuropathy) in legs/feet, and surgical site infection (abscess).

Advice to Patient

Resize of the implant may be elected in the future for young males implanted prior to body maturation.

This treatment is prescribed by your physician. Discuss the treatment options with your physician to understand the risks and benefits of the various options to determine if a testicular implant is right for you.

Caution: Federal law (USA) restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician.
