Day theatre procedureAbout this service
Testicular prosthesis insertion in Windhoek is a procedure that places an artificial testicular implant in the scrotum, usually after a testicle has been removed due to injury, disease or a previous operation. The prosthesis is designed to restore a natural appearance and can be an important part of recovering confidence and body image after testicle loss.
