I know they can do either a vertical or horizontal incision for penoscrotal. For you guys who have had a horizontal penoscrotal incision, how visible or noticeable is the scar. Would a girl notice?

Edit: Never mind. I wrote this with the misconception that penostrotal was suprapubic. Completely off-base.


A hysterectomy leaves a scar like that, sometimes. A woman might be able to relate.

Seriously, I think most women would have their curiosity allayed by just referring to an unspeciied abdominal surgery.

I imagine that if a woman has allowed a sexusl encounter to get to where she sees such a scar, she is not goig to be interested in details of how yoi got it. On the other hand a good story might be fun. Depending on the woman, "It was a Taliban fighter in Kabul, got me with a janbia" or "Prison riot."

Or maybe the unvarnished truth.

I had a horizontal penoscrotal incision. By the 3 month point the scar had almost completely disappeared. Now at the 9 month point I can just see a very faint silvery fine line where the incision was made but I do not think a partner would ever be able to notice it.

Thanks guys, I appreciate your responses

Bbob: I too had a horizontal penoscrotal incision. By six weeks it was visible but fading. by four months, it was unnoticeable. Now after three years, if I really look for it, I think I can see it but I really have to search.

Why would a physician use a horizontal incision, rather than a vertical incision along the nature seam of the scrotum?

A vertical incision decreases the distance between the implanted pump and the wound, which could affect scar tissue formation and increase infection possibilities. By separating them a cm or so, it decreases the risk of scar tissue connecting one to the other in odd ways.

I had talked with the Dr about a penoscrotal incision, all the time thinking it would be midline vertical. Well I woke up with a 3 inch horizontal incision. The stitching looked pretty ruff. I had a 3/8 inch ridge! It pulled a lot of skin tight until the stitching relaxed. At 3 months it was still raised and tight, made pumping difficult. 12 months all is good! Someone would have to be very close to see the scar. I figured if they're that close they can see or feel the pump and we are beyond caring!
