title: Simple placement of prosthetic testes in children.
abstract: Testicular prostheses are inserted for cosmetic reasons for absent testes or after an orchidectomy. Most complications related to testicular prostheses insertions are due to excessive tissue and prostheses handling. We describe a simple and reliable technique of insertion of testicular prostheses that provides a good cosmetic outcome and could potentially minimise complications.
