Orchiectomy at Instar Cosmetic Surgery

Understanding the Procedure

At Instar Cosmetic Surgery, we prioritize comprehensive care and a patient-centric approach in every procedure we undertake. Orchiectomy, also known as orchidectomy or castration, is one such surgical procedure performed by our esteemed surgeon, Dr. Shukan Kapadia. Let's delve into what an orchiectomy entails and its implications.

What is Orchiectomy?

Orchiectomy is a surgical procedure involving the removal of one or both testicles. It's often performed as part of gender-affirming surgery for transgender individuals seeking to align their physical characteristics with their gender identity. Additionally, it may be recommended for individuals with testicular cancer, prostate cancer, or certain other conditions.

The Procedure

Before the procedure, thorough consultation and assessment are conducted by Dr. Shukan Kapadia to ensure patient understanding and readiness. Orchiectomy can be performed under general or local anesthesia, depending on the patient's health and preferences.

During the surgery

Incision:

Dr. Kapadia makes a small incision in the scrotum.

Testicle Removal:

The testicle(s) are carefully removed through this incision.

Closure:

Once the testicle(s) are removed, the incision is closed with sutures.

The procedure typically takes about one hour, though this may vary based on individual circumstances.

Recovery and Aftercare

After orchiectomy, patients are monitored closely to manage any discomfort and ensure proper healing. Recovery time varies, but most individuals can resume normal activities within a few days to a week. Dr. Kapadia provides personalized post-operative care instructions to promote healing and minimize complications.

Implications and Considerations

Orchiectomy can have significant implications, both physically and emotionally. For transgender individuals, it's a crucial step in their gender transition journey, leading to improved psychological well-being and quality of life. For those undergoing the procedure due to medical conditions like cancer, it may be a necessary step in treatment and recovery.
