What Is Testicular Prosthesis Surgery?
Testicular prosthesis surgery (인공고환 수술) — also known as testicular implant or artificial testicle surgery — is the surgical placement of a medical-grade implant into the scrotum to restore natural scrotal appearance for men missing one or both testicles. The procedure has been performed for over 60 years and is a well-established restorative surgery with high patient satisfaction rates worldwide.
The goal is aesthetic and psychological restoration — recreating the visual symmetry of the scrotum and relieving the body-image concerns that often accompany testicular absence. The implant replicates the size, shape, and general feel of a natural testicle within the scrotum. While the prosthesis does not produce testosterone, sperm, or have any hormonal or reproductive function, the restoration of normal appearance significantly improves quality of life, self-confidence, and intimate relationships for many men.
Who Considers Testicular Prosthesis Surgery?
You may be a candidate if you experience:
- Congenital testicular absence — born without one or both testicles (agenesis or undescended testicle that could not be brought down surgically)
- Testicular atrophy — permanent shrinkage from previous injury, severe mumps orchitis, vascular compromise, or hormonal issues
- Post-orchiectomy status — after surgical removal due to testicular cancer, severe trauma, untreated torsion, or chronic testicular pain
- Psychological impact from scrotal asymmetry — body-image concerns, relationship difficulties, or avoidance behaviour
3 Main Reasons Men Seek This Surgery
Three Main Patient Groups
Men considering testicular prosthesis generally fall into three categories, each with specific considerations for surgical planning. Understanding which group you belong to helps the urologist tailor the approach — including size matching, surgical technique, and post-operative expectations.
Congenital Absence
Born without one or both testicles, or with an undescended testicle that could not be surgically brought down. Often discovered in childhood or adolescence. The scrotum on the affected side may be underdeveloped. Surgical planning includes preparing the smaller scrotal pocket to receive the implant.
Testicular Atrophy
Permanent shrinkage of a previously normal testicle — from injury (trauma, sports injury), severe mumps or infection, vascular compromise (post-torsion), or hormonal dysfunction. The testicle may still be present but too small to provide normal appearance. Usually the atrophic testicle is removed and prosthesis placed in same session.
After Surgical Removal
After a testicle has been surgically removed due to testicular cancer, severe trauma, untreated torsion, or chronic pain. Many cancer patients opt for immediate prosthesis placement at the time of orchiectomy; others return months or years later. Requires clearance from oncology team before elective prosthesis surgery.
Testicular Prosthesis Is a Cosmetic Restoration Only
The implant does not produce testosterone, sperm, or have any reproductive or hormonal function. It restores only visual and tactile appearance. If you have one remaining natural testicle, it will generally compensate and keep testosterone in the normal range. If both testicles are absent or non-functional, separate testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) may be needed — this is discussed at consultation.
2 Prosthesis Options at Urogyn Busan
Urogyn Busan offers two medical-grade testicular prosthesis options, both with regulatory approval from KFDA (Korea) and/or US FDA. The choice depends on your preferences for weight, tactile feel, and anatomical shape — all three are discussed in detail at consultation where you can physically examine sample implants.
Anatomical Saline Prosthesis
— 해부학적 인공고환 (Anatomical Saline-Filled)A saline-filled prosthesis shell shaped to precisely match natural testicular anatomy — with the characteristic oval-to-tear-drop shape and appropriate ridges. The saline filling provides natural weight and subtle movement within the scrotum, closely replicating the feel of a native testicle. Anatomical shape is particularly noticeable to partners during intimate contact. Urogyn's most commonly selected option for patients prioritising realistic appearance and feel.
- Shape: anatomically accurate oval contour
- Weight: natural feel due to saline fill
- Movement: subtle movement within scrotum
- Filling: sterile saline solution (biologically inert)
- Best for: patients prioritising most natural feel
Silicone Gel Prosthesis
— 실리콘 인공고환 (Silicone Gel Implant)A solid silicone gel prosthesis made from medical-grade silicone elastomer — the same category of material used in other long-established medical implants. Provides a softer tactile feel compared to saline-filled prostheses. Round or oval shape. FDA approved. A good option for patients who prioritise softness over anatomical shape precision or for specific anatomical situations where the urologist recommends this type.
- Material: medical-grade silicone gel
- Feel: softer tactile sensation
- Shape: round/oval (less anatomical)
- Durability: robust, long-lasting material
- Best for: patients prioritising softness
How the Right Size Is Selected
At consultation, the urologist measures the contralateral (opposite side) testicle using calipers — or for patients with bilateral absence, selects an appropriate size based on body habitus and patient preference. Available sizes range from small to extra-large, allowing precise matching for symmetric scrotal appearance. The selected prosthesis is ordered pre-operatively for your specific procedure. Urogyn does not operate without the correct size confirmed.
Urogyn's 7-Point Care Standard
Pre-Op Size Matching
Caliper measurement of contralateral testicle ensures precise symmetric result — no guesswork.
KFDA / FDA Implants
Only regulatory-approved medical-grade prostheses — no off-brand or unregulated products.
2 Implant Options
Anatomical saline or silicone gel — selected based on your preferences for shape and feel.
Sterile Technique
Strict surgical sterility with prophylactic IV antibiotics — infection risk below 1%.
Scrotal Suture Fixation
Small suture secures prosthesis position, preventing displacement and drift.
Multi-Layer Closure
Meticulous layer-by-layer closure minimises scar visibility and optimises healing.
Structured Follow-Up
1-week and 4-week reviews monitor healing and prosthesis positioning.
International Patient Support
English aftercare instructions and WhatsApp follow-up after you return home.

✓ Good Candidates
- Men with congenital testicular absence (cryptorchidism, agenesis)
- Men with testicular atrophy from previous injury, infection, or torsion
- Post-orchiectomy patients — with oncology clearance if cancer-related
- Men with psychological distress or relationship impact from scrotal asymmetry
- Adequate scrotal skin elasticity and no active local infection
- Realistic expectations about aesthetic-only restoration (not hormonal/reproductive)
- International patients seeking specialist English-speaking urological care
⚠ Important Considerations
- Active testicular cancer treatment ongoing — wait for oncology clearance
- Active scrotal or groin infection — treat first before elective surgery
- Bleeding disorders without medical clearance
- Unrealistic expectations that prosthesis will restore hormonal or reproductive function
- Severe contralateral scrotal skin scarring or deficiency — may need skin expansion first
- Current anticoagulant therapy — requires perioperative management plan
