Abstract: Introduction: Castration and orchidectomy have been practiced for over 2000 years; references to castration and orchidectomy may be found in Biblical and legendary sources. Orchidectomy has been used to treat male aggressiveness for many years . Surgeons began to examine its therapeutic uses around the beginning of the twentieth century .More knowledge about the role of the testicles in regulating prostatic development and growth became available. Orchidectomy can be performed as an emergency or as a non-emergency operation. Objective: To study the various causes leading to orchidectomy and other factors like age, laterality of disease, operative procedure, and post-operative management at a rural tertiary care center. Methodology: In our study, we retrospectively examined the records of patients who underwent orchidectomy for various conditions during the span of January 2018 to March 2021. Results: In our case series, out of the 60 cases, 35 cases (58%) were done for malignant conditions, and 25 cases (42%) were done for benign conditions. The maximum number of orchidectomies were done for carcinoma prostate in malignant cases followed by carcinoma testis, whereas testicular torsion was the leading benign cause followed by testicular abscess, inguinal hernia, Fournier’s gangrene, scrotal trauma, and undescended testis. Right-sided orchidectomy was done in 15 cases, left-sided in 17 cases whereas bilateral orchidectomies were done in 28 cases. Subcapsular orchidectomy had better patient satisfaction as compared to extracapsular or total orchidectomy Conclusion: In our case series, the majority of orchidectomies were done for malignant cases and involved bilateral orchidectomy.
