A method and apparatus for implanting a testicular prosthetic device includes creating a passageway into the interior of an animal's scrotum which contains a tunica vaginalis; incising the tunica vaginalis containing a testis attached to a spermatic cord; severing the spermatic cord; removing the testis through the passageway and inserting a prosthetic device through the passageway and into the lumen of the tunica and closing the tunica. The second testis is similarly removed from its tunica vaginalis through the same passageway and a similar prosthetic device is placed in the cavity created. The tunica may be drawn outwardly, thought the passageway, and removal of the testis by incising the tunica and severing the spermatic cord may be performed outside the animal. The tunica may also be severed and the prosthetic device placed directly within the scrotal sac. The testicular implant is generally kidney-shaped and is sized to fit the tunica.
