At netcare Linksfield Hospital, Orchidectomy is performed using specialized urological and oncological surgical techniques with comprehensive preoperative assessment. Established in 1991, this COHSASA accredited hospital in Johannesburg, South Africa has 319 beds and offers advanced urology, uro-oncology, diagnostic imaging, and surgical services.

Orchidectomy may be considered for patients with testicular tumors, selected cases of prostate cancer requiring androgen deprivation, severe infection or trauma, or other significant testicular disorders. Before surgery, the urologist may perform physical examination, ultrasound, blood tests, tumor-marker assessment, and additional imaging when indicated. For suspected testicular cancer, the affected testicle is generally removed through an inguinal approach rather than through an incision in the scrotum.
