Abstract
Objective:To evaluate whether testicular prosthesis should be fixed MethodsRetrospective monocentric study including 169 patients who had implantation of testicular prosthesis between January 2013 and December 2022. Patients answered a telephone questionnaire regarding prosthesis characteristics and satisfaction. ResultsProsthesis was sutured for 59 patients (34.9%) out of 169. 146 patients answered the questionnaire. Satisfaction was excellent regarding size, weight, consistency and shape. A position too high was a major complain in both groups. Pain and discomfort were significantly higher in the fixed group (30.8% vs 9.78%, p<0,001). Few patients reported discomfort with the anchor prosthesis (22,9%). ConclusionsOverall satisfaction of the prosthesis is high but discomfort and high positioning are the two items remaining to improve. Our study suggests that fixing prosthesis is a cause of discomfort and won’t allow a better positioning
