Throw it away, biohazard. Won't be able to use it for FTM, just like it won't be feasible to implant the uterus etc after FTM hysterectomy either.
Typically, unwanted tissue and other waste materials are incinerated.
I wish I could find the link, but I remember reading about someone planning to make them into earrings.
Mine were biopsied just in case. If they were found to be cancerous, then insurance would have paid 100% for the orchi.
It's too bad, I would have wanted them brassed so I could show everyone that I literally had brass ones.

I just checked, and apparently in most places it is legal for a patient to get their bits back after surgery; the hospital is likely to claim it's not, or that the bits are a biohazard, but if pressed, they'll do it.
Earrings would work, although they might end up being a bit heavy (you'd probably have to have them preserved in acrylic resin) but wouldn't it be more impressive to have them made into a paperweight?

All I know is I'm going to do something amazing with mine.
Afterwards, I'm going to make the most interesting DIY upcycling entry in the history of the interwebz. 'Cause as you probably already know, articles on repurposing human testicles are very scarce.
My local Asian market sells pigs' testicles. They're a nice size, and they'd look good mounted. Just sayin' (https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fthefiringline.com%2Fforums%2Fimages%2Fsmilies%2Fwink.gif&hash=fd49c1687b59c0ea097a7b4f1ed562a996fdaf5c)
I'm planning on having mine bronze dipped, mounted and then sending them to my father with a note:
Dear Dad,
Here's a pair of balls. I have no need for them any more and you've always been short a pair.
Your loving daughter,

Any accredited surgical clinic or hospital in the US would be required to send tissue like that to a pathologist for identification by an objective third party that typically will dissect them and examine for disease and/or a confirmation that they were normal if "atrophied" testicles. Keeps surgeons from those miracle surgeries that remove cancerous hamburger without an incision. ;D
Items that can be identified and then sterilized such as a screw from a fracture have a better chance of being returned than any tissue.

Way too funny, but Tessa is right that here in the United States they have to send things off to be tested. So your odds of getting anything back is slim if at all unless your outside the United States. Even when they removed a kidney stone that was just a bunch of small gravel from me back in January it was sent away. Nothing left for me because what little their was had to be sent off.

I got to wonder how this worked out
"At one point, she told me to go to the fridge in her room and grab the bag on the top shelf. I did exactly that, then thought for a moment and said "I'm holding your balls, aren't I?" Turns out she asked for them to be preserved in formaldehyde so she could use them as a paper weight in the future."

yep...... no matter to me, just glad they b long gone.
I had thought of having them bronzed so that I could walk around like Captain Queeg rolling real balls in my hand.

This is the funniest thread I've read in over three years on this forum, my cheeks hurt.
I'm leaning towards the paperweight idea myself, I'm also toying with having them metal coated and joined together with a chain so if anyone tried getting physical (the bad kind of physical) then I could slap them round the chops with my "balls", the ultimate insult to someone who's transphobic.
I'm also looking for one of those kits to make a home made massager so if someone tells me to go #### myself I can smile and thank them for the suggestion.

All joking aside, seriously what do they do with them, do they incinerate them, do they hold on to them for medical students for tests etc, it's 30 years this year since I had my srs and had mine removed, it wasn't the sort of question I'd ask at the time, just like getting 2 tumours removed, did they keep them for a few months, then destroy them, I've absolutely no idea.
Since I'm Intersex, I plan on donating them to science if I can. Since mine failed to develop, because of a female puberty I'm rather curious to see what happened to them.

Ha Ha! Funny you should say that!
For those you have wondered what happens to your testicles during GRS, they are discarded as medical waste. I heard someplace that at one time they were repurposed as transplants for cancer patients but the results weren't all that successful and apparently did not justify the risks and cost. So they just chuck 'em in the bin.
The night before surgery I was sharing a room with another patient, and we were resting and getting settled for our Big Day. After a light dinner we were approached by a research assistant from a nearby university medical school who wanted our nuts. Seems they were doing AIDS research and needed healthy, HIV-negative testicles for study. Naturally, we had been tested and found to be HIV-negative as a condition of surgery, so we were good candidates. She asked us if we'd be willing to sell her our nuggets.
Huh?
It was pretty hard to stifle laughter as we made the transaction, and the money was inconsequential compared to the bragging rights we got for having marketable junk. We'd never heard of this happening to anyone, and just by chance we were the only two patients there during that time period who were given this deal.
We each got $40 CDN (per each pair), hardly enough for more than a small bar tab. But we spent the next 10 days of recovery joking about what we'd do with our "nut bucks" once we got out of the joint. My friend bought a new tattoo and I got a nice pair of earrings, as it seemed appropriate that I'd exchange one hanging pair for another.
I asked. Mine got send to a research facility laboratory in a hospital, to check if there is any cancers or something. It seems that this is policy for any bodily material that is taken, it's needs to be analyzed for diseases that might indicate a potential risk for other organs nearby. Sometimes they can also do scientific research on it and collect data. Then they burn it in a special oven in another facility which processes biological waste. ^_^ So mine went up in smoke... hihi...
i actually asked Dr Bowers if my gonads could be donated for research on the long term effects of HRT to the tissues. but unfortunately, such studies are far and few between.
I have on the other hand heard of patients requesting to have the gonads relocated to where they would have been as ovaries...

I always wondered what do they do with it once surgery is over. Do they throw it away or they use it for ftm's surgery or what do they do with it exactly?
They had them in a jar and made me take a picture with them.... UGHHHH I was so disgusted.
forget bronzing given how expensive all this is they better get gold plated at the very least perhaps some gem stones on the old stones balljazzle them up a bit.
Really I think the only reason I would ever want to keep them is to freak out friends but I think I can do that once just once with some partially cooked meatballs and the phrase "close your eyes.....What dose this feel like.....Wrong!" but only once because I am only slightly evil.
6 pages on this question... I'm both grossed out and impressed with ur creative answers
They going to use mine for science.
Checking for brains perhaps ;D
They actually asked me if I would donate them to AIDS research. Of course I said yes, and I got $20 each for participating!! At least someone wants them.
They can put them in a food processor, let the processor do the work, then get dumped into the toilet. After which I would say "YIPPEE"
The same for after an orchie.
Everyone have a nice day,
P.S. I don't know why anyone would want to keep them.
I will most likely tell them to dip those disgusting little partially-external organs into a vat of acid, then incinerate said vat of acid, fill the incinerator with liquid hydrogen, pack the whole thing into a space shuttle and send that shuttle in a crash course to the Sun.
Much ado about a body part that never was a part of me. But when I say "I'm going to get rid of X" that is what I mean with it.
Anyway, they're most likely not going to do exactly that, but as long as the medical personnel at least do something involving very potent acids and/or incineration to them, I'm not complaining.
Mine were packed in a bag marked "medical waste", headed for an incinerator.
I wanted to pound them to a pulp with a sledge hammer, but once they were gone, I was happy not to see them ever again.
Could they be freeze dried and used as conkers?
We just got a new freeze dryer in our lab....in 4 hours it dries up things pretty fast.
Really though, I guess they just destroy them after a while.... Ofcourse they could keep them in formaldehyde heh heh.

I'm not sure how to tell you this, but you seem to have misplaced a decade...
lol bronzed balls...
ok so when i went for my GRS, I had asked several times to have them tested for abnormalities, but i never heard a thing after i woke back up that night or up through checkout. but did confirm that after extraction, most places have it as a policy to have them sent to pathology anyways and then tossed in the furnace. not that many patients want them afterwards, and some places even make it illegal to have parts without a scientific need for study.
Hopefully they dropped them in a pit, back to hell where they came from ;)

I read this on my tablet. The screen is cracked in a couple of places, one of which was just where "ftm's" fell, partially blocking it. So I read this as "Do they throw it away or they use it for fun?"
I had thought about drying and powdering them, mixing with acrylic to make earrings for my wife. After all, she's had the balls in the family for years. However since I had an atrophied testicle up in the inguinal canal on the right side with a cancer risk and chronic orchalgia on the left side due to Epididymitis, both were sent off for pathology. Pathology said no problems. Since I knew I wouldn't get them back, I named them Shane. That way I could yell, "Shane, Shane. Come back Shane" knowing they weren't coming back.
Would love to give mine to my GF to use as ear rings

Well, that would have depended on the results, since I really wanted them to have the answer to that question of whether they really were more ovum than testes like I suspected... they would have been prime subjects for studying the effects of long term inversion/tucking and transition. ::)
