What is Radical Inguinal Orchiectomy or Testicular Tumor Surgery

The surgery to remove a testicle with cancer is called a Radical Inguinal Orchiectomy sometimes also known Inguinal Orchiectomy. In Radical Inguinal Orchiectomy or Testicular Tumor Surgery an incision or a cut is made just above the pubic area, and the testicle is gently removed from the scrotum through the opening. The surgeon then removes the entire tumour along with the testicle and spermatic cord.
