Partial orchidectomy for second testicular tumour.
This report describes a patient who underwent a partial orchidectomy for testicular cancer, having already had a radical orchidectomy of the contra lateral side. He subsequently fathered two children. This policy may have a role in the management of men with an early germ cell tumour in a solitary testis who have not completed their family.
