While getting your testicles removed is an option, Most people are not on ADT for life. Have your testicles removed and you are effectively on ADT for life unless you get testosterone injections.
Here’s a link to the experience somebody had removing their testicles, not a positive life after.

I think I had five holes after the robot assisted prostatectomy. Other people have mentioned having five as well. I guess it just depends on the Surgeon, I suspect if they use fewer holes, they must have a larger middle opening..
