Five months later in 18 that had to replace the pump. Insurance paid for both surgeries.


Did they ever explain the cause? Did you use the same Urologist?

Re: What Is The Procedure To Repair This?

I was told by my doctor's office when I was worried about needing a revision, that if the insurance covered the original implant, a revision that is due to anything other than dissatisfaction (failure, infection, improper placement) should be covered. That may or may not be true but that's what I'v...

Update with CT Photos Pg 1

I meet the new Urologist on 9/18, after examining me she agreed not only was there a blow out but the implant was improperly installed. I had a CT scan on 9/22 and it’s very obvious the first URO botched the install. I have attached copies of the CT scan.

Re: Tube help

I mean, unless the implant was put in with tubing tight to begin with, I don't understand how it can wrap itself and become tangled! Can't they use a form of a zip tie on the cords at...

Re: Disapointed and revision by Dr. Kramer

I had my bad implant replaced on 8-20-19 by Dr. Kramer. I am impressed by his attitude and his skills and can do attitude. His office staff and the nurses were professional and quite skilled. (He) Dr Kramer is easy to talk to. I went in at 6 am and at 7am was in surgery and by 9:30 am was on my way...
