title: Testicular prostheses: the patient's perception.
abstract: There is a paucity of data to determine if the insertion of a testicular prosthesis is effective in overcoming the psychological effects of an absent testis. A review of 25 patients who had had testicular prostheses showed a high overall level of satisfaction in the 19 patients who were traced. This satisfaction was subject to some qualification.
