Venous leak embolization
Posted: Thu Apr 25, 2024 1:59 pm
Hello
I would like to ask you about your experiences related to venous leak embolization.
This type of surgery is currently available in only a few countries:
- Taiwan
- Singapore
- Florida
- France
- Switzerland
- Spain
You can mention other countries, if you know.
I know about these above.
The venous leak surgery is not recommended since 2015, because of poor long term results. However the long term results used to be 60-70% success rate based on different sources from internet or even more. The question is what long term means for the doctors? Other sources say outcomes are very poor beyond 1-2 years. It might be because new veins appear and veins wasn't the original problem. (?)
One of the doctors said:
"Approximately, 30% of people can benefit from surgery, either to completely solve the pathology or to delay the arrival of the penile prosthesis while helping them maintain their erections."
Are there any special cases when venous leak embolization solves the problem completely and it doesn't return?
What are the side effects of the surgery?
Are the new methods including the CT Angiography with 3D reconstruction make any difference in long term results or it destined to fail in long term? I read that the new type of surgery leaves no scar.
Are the surgery and CT Angiography painful?
It would be very good to hear informations from people who had this type of surgery in the past.
I am not going to have implant for sure, so this surgery is my only hope.
For me Sildenafil/Tadalafil/any similar product from sex shop + penile ring together is more effective than Caverject injection alone, however it's not enough for a relationship and I don't like the ring either. I will die alone
