1) What sutures are used when tying/securing spermatic cord, stitching fascia and stitching scrotum?
absorbable or non-absorbable ?
2) If non-absorbable suture is used to tie up/secure spermatic cords,
are they left for ever inside you or they are removed by surgeon after everything has healed?
3) Do you know what sutures were used for you?

I was done with dissolvable sutures. The external ones took about 2 week to come out.

I would guess non absorbable for the spermatic chord since it needs to stay sealed

No, they would be left in place to keep all secure.
Not sure for inside, but for my scrtotum, self absorbing sutures.
