When circumcising twin boys may the two boys be in the same room at the same time when each one’s of circumcision is taking place?

When circumcising twin boys may the two boys be in the same room at the same time when each one’s of circumcision is taking place, as I heard that they should not be in the room at the same time?

Indeed, this matter is debated amongst the Poskim and is dependent on the debate of whether a single blessing should be recited for both circumcisions in which case they are brought to the area at the same time or whether two blessing should be said, one for each of circumcision, in which case the second baby should only be brought after the circumcision of the first baby is complete. Practically, according to the ruling of Admur, by twins a single blessing is said for them both, and therefore they are to be brought to the room together.

See Admur 213:7 in parentheses; Michaber Y.D. 265:5; Tur 265; Shut Harosh 64 in name of Rabbeinu Simcha; Perisha E.H. 62, brought in Chelkas Mechokeik 62:3, as rules Rama E.H. 62:2 regarding a Chupah; Pesakim Uteshuvos 265:19
