A member asked:
My urologist says she will use two side cut incisions when she performs my simple bilateral orchiectomy because there is less bleeding. are two side cuts better than one central incision?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Both are acceptable and heal in the same with no more or less loss of blood. So its a personal preference and comfort
