The reason for this complete removal is that testicular cancers frequently spread from the spermatic cord into the lymph nodes near the kidneys.
The operation is similar to a simple orchiectomy, with the exception that the glandular tissue is removed from the lining of each testicle rather than the entire gland being removed.
After the cord and testicle have been removed, the surgeon washes the area with saline solution and closes the various layers of tissues and skin with various types of sutures. The wound is then covered with sterile gauze and bandaged.

Although it is possible to father a child if only one testicle is removed, some surgeons recommend banking sperm as a precaution in case the other testicle should develop a tumor at a later date.
If I am correct in assuming so, I believe you are referring to testicular torsion, which is the twisting of the spermatic cord, which cuts off the blood supply to the testicle and surrounding structures within the scrotum. With no blood supply, the tissue DIES. Therefore, this situation is an emergency. Surgery is usually required and should be performed as soon as possible after symptoms begin. If surgery is performed within 6 hours, most testicles can be saved. If the blood supply is cut off to the testicle for a prolonged period of time, it may atrophy (shrink) and need to be surgically removed. Atrophy of the testicle may occur days-to-months after the torsion has been corrected. Severe infection of the testicle and scrotum is also possible if the blood flow is restricted for a prolonged period. Testicular torsion is a medical emergency that needs immediate treatment. Death of the testicle can occur in a few hours. Once the testicle is dead it must be removed to prevent gangrenous infection.
When a man has a testicle removed by a doctor, he may opt to have an implant put into the scrotum in order to make it seem like he still has both testicles. The implant does nothing other than occupy the empty space where the removed testicle once resided.
There is no testicle fluid in the sac. The testicles create sperm and this is released when a man ejaculates. Hope this helps.
He lost his testicle in Llanelli, South Wales. He had an accident on a motorbike racecourse... and later had it removed in Hospital.
