title: Delayed extrusion of testicular prosthesis.
abstract: A case of migration and extrusion of a testicular prosthesis with erosion of the fixation tab through the skin is reported. Predisposing factors are discussed. Trimming the corners of the tab prior to fixation is recommended as well as anchoring it firmly to the most dependent portion of the scrotum, using nonabsorbable sutures.
