Patient-specific testicular prosthesis prototype produced with polylactic acid and coated with cyanoacrylate or polymethylmethacrylate

In order to reduce the psychological and aesthetic consequences caused by elective or therapeutic orchiectomy, we developed two types of testicular prostheses, which were produced using a 3D printer, with polylactic acid filament, coated cyanoacrylate polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA). They tested in Wistar rats, orchiectomy performed on left testicle prosthesis implanted inside tunica vaginalis, group 1 2 PMMA. The implants showed interesting features such as low cost, reduced production time, ease customization for patient. Two rats had monocular vaginalitis region vaginalis implant 3 (3/10, 30%) fibrous dermatitis. 2, 5 (50%) dermatitis, none alterations vaginalis. We logistic regression model, results no significant association between type presence inflammation (p=0.08) dermatitis (p=0.22). However, suggest further studies cyanoacrylate. PMMA proved be an excellent option biomaterial prosthesis. Fibrous occurred due dermal healing process surgical incision.
