Abstract
Epididymal sparing bilateral simple orchiectomy is a simple and safe procedure that can be conveniently performed in an outpatient clinic setting using pure local anesthesia. Preservation of the epididymis and subsequent epididymoplasty is effective for maintaining the esthetic appearance of the scrotum and patient satisfaction. The procedure offers patients the convenience of 1-time surgical therapy over lifelong medical injection therapy at a significantly lower cost and without significantly compromising the esthetic appearance of the scrotum.
