My situation is identical to Razor's - much improved than before op but consistency issues mainly as a result of psychology are somewhat of an issue. As I've stated before, my healing time was extremely protracted and my stitches only fell out after a month - even considering sex before this was a b...

I know RugbyDave, irishguy and DoomEngloom have been implanted on the NHS. Their experiences were sadly mixed and it looks like the latter two members haven't been active on here for a long while, which is unfortunate because it looked as though they had some unresolved issues shortly after their su...

Seconded - we'd love to know your strategy with new/casual encounters. Has the pump become malleable enough that you can pump up with one hand? How about through jeans?

This sounds about as tough as it gets - first ED and now this. Hang in there buddy, I hope you're coping as well as could be expected for such a difficult scenario. Can I ask you how long it took from the initial diagnosis of the first infection to actually having the implant removed? I am in the UK...

Thanks for all this detail gollam, glad to hear things went well by the sounds of it. Re: the mystery of the DDV leakage, that's certainly baffling. During my 5 week follow up I pressed on the issue of vein regrowth/revascularisation and the clinical opinion currently is that relapse of ligation pat...

I'm fine with that though - consi...

I know that DDV ligation surgery has a bad success rate - it's non-specific and usually follows an ultrasound doppler which is a relatively crude diagnostic test for venous leak (all you get are numerical data vs. anatomical indications). What is more, it will do nothing for individuals whose leaks ...

Thanks very much Spotya - when I hear about members being able to pump with one hand (and in sone cases even with their trousers still on) it certainly makes me excited. Glad your relationship is going well - I'm under the impression that the majority of partners told were intrigued more than anythi...

Thanks very much for this information, Chorton.

Do you think your discomfort afterwards may have been more attributable to the grafting/repair process rather than the nature of the implant procedure?

Hi guys, The sub-coronal incision technique of inflatable prosthesis implantation where the entire circumference of the penis just under the glans is 'de-gloved' so to speak (i.e. the skin cut and the tissue underneath exposed) and then an inflatable prosthesis inserted via a novel procedure is curr...
