Tom:
Way back when......
When I first started practicing urology it was the pre-silicone era. If I
had to remove a testicle for cancer or infection I was occasionally asked to
replace it with a prosthesis.
There were none available at the time so guess what I used? Yup .. I opened
up the "eye" tray and picked whatever one appeared to be the best size.
These never felt good to the touch but "looked" OK to the casual observer.
