OBJECTIVE: To compare subcapsular and total orchiectomy in @entity1 with @entity263 . MATERIAL AND METHODS: Two urological centers participated in a prospective, randomized study comparing complication rates and @entity1 satisfaction. A total of 89 @entity1 were randomized to either total or subcapsular orchiectomy. After the operation the @entity1 were scheduled for a 3-month follow-up visit and subsequently followed the routine of the clinic. Three @entity1 dropped out of the study and thus 86 were evaluated. RESULTS: The number of @entity260 differed significantly between the two groups: 14/46 in the total and 5/40 in the subcapsular orchiectomy @entity1 . Complications were defined as reoperation or a @entity260 causing additional ambulatory visits during the first 3 months postoperatively. Eight @entity1 were reoperated on: 6/46 in the total and 2/40 in the subcapsular orchiectomy group, and this difference was not statistically significant. There was no significant difference in complication rates among trained urologists and trainees or among @entity1 who received local or general anesthesia. CONCLUSION: Subcapsular orchiectomy is associated with significantly fewer @entity260 than total orchiectomy.

Subcapsular versus total orchiectomy in the treatment of XXXX : a randomized trial.
