A member asked:

After a bilateral orxhiopexy how long does it take for the body to replace the sutures with a natural anchor for the testicles?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It depends: It depends on the type of suture used by your surgeon. Sometimes, the surgeon will use what is known as "non-absorbable" suture to perform the orchiopexy, and these are basically permanent. I would ask your surgeon.
