A prosthetic testicle is an artificial replacement for a testicle that has been lost either through surgery or injury.[1][2] They can also be used in female-to-male sex reassignment surgery.[3]
They are plastic ovoids manufactured from silicone rubber filled with a salt solution[2] and are implanted in the scrotum. These provide the appearance and feel of testes and prevent shrinking of scrotum.[1]
