How We Perform Testicular Cancer Surgery in Bogota?
Testicular cancer is the result of uncontrolled cell growth in the testicles, eventually forming a lump or tumor. Individuals who have a personal or family history of testicular cancer, have abnormal testicular development from birth, and fall between the ages of 15 and 35 are more likely to contract this disease. Timely intervention in the form of surgery or chemotherapy will help treat cancer effectively.
Dr. Diego Camacho Nieto offers his professional expertise and state-of-the-art facilities, where you will receive support and world-class urology care. He employs the Retroperitoneal Lymph Node Dissection (RPLND) procedure to remove abdominal lymph nodes and treat testicular cancer. This procedure fully eliminates any cancer that may have spread to these nodes. Learn more about our services by reaching out to our team!
Symptoms of Testicular Cancer
Knowing the signs of testicular cancer will allow you to identify its presence early on. Here are the symptoms to look out for:
- Swelling or inflammation in the scrotum
- A lump or abnormal bulge in either testicle
- Pain in the lower back or lower abdomen
- Severe to moderate pain in the testicles
- Testicular atrophy
These are warning signs that might indicate the presence of testicular cancer in the body. If you spot any of these symptoms, trust your gut and schedule your evaluation with us immediately. Dr. Diego Camacho will thoroughly assess your symptoms, run tests, and hear your concerns to determine the presence of testicular cancer and the ideal treatment plan for you.
Precise Surgical Intervention: Why You Need It
Our specialized team of highly trained, cancer-focused urologists, led by Dr. Diego Camacho, is ready to handle your case in Bogota. We offer fully personalized procedures at our state-of-the-art facility, taking into account your needs as a patient and prescribing you a treatment plan accordingly.
Surgery is considered the first line of treatment for any case of testicular cancer, where the affected testicle is removed. Surgery will prevent the testicular cancer from spreading any further to the retroperitoneal lymph nodes, which would otherwise have to be removed as well. Keep in mind that a timely diagnosis is key!
We meet with hundreds of patients dealing with urologic cancer each year. Our ability to treat each case without failure is a testament to our expertise.
How Does It Work?
Here is the step-by-step overview of what to expect when it comes to testicular cancer or ‘radical inguinal orchiectomy.’ We recommend you reach out to us to better understand our procedure.
1. Diagnosis
We call our patients in for a diagnostic test to assess several factors. (1) the presence of cancer, (2) the spread of cancer, (3) the expected future prognosis. With these considerations, we outline the ideal surgical approach for you.
2. Surgery
The procedure is performed using general anesthesia. During this procedure, a small incision is made in the lower groin, and the affected testicle is removed from the scrotum through this incision. Often, laparoscopic surgery is recommended if the cancer has spread to the lymph nodes.
3. Recovery
The procedure takes up to one hour and is typically performed on an outpatient basis. Recovery will take anywhere from one to two weeks. During this time, adhere to the prescribed recovery guidelines.
4. Follow Up
We will schedule periodic checkups to ensure the patient is recovering well from the procedure. The chance of cancer relapse is the strongest in the first two years; therefore, close monitoring is crucial.
