Abstract
An implant device and method is provided. The implant may be a generally spherical, hollow body having one or more layers configured to be implanted within a scrotum and a cavity sized to receive a testis. Net sheeting provides structural rigidity to the implant and facilitates suturing of the implant to the patient. The cavity has a cavity configured to permit access to the cavity. Implantation involves administering one or more anesthetic agents to a patient having at least one testis and a scrotum; cutting an at least 1.5-inch longitudinal incision in the scrotum to expose the tunica vaginalis; cutting an at least 1.5-inch longitudinal incision in the tunica vaginalis; providing the testicular implant placing the testicular implant over the at least one testis; closing the at least 1.5-inch longitudinal incision in the tunica vaginalis; connecting the testicular implant to the tunica vaginalis; and closing the scrotum.
