Infrapubic approach - pump placement and tubing

Postby staphylococcusecoli » Thu Oct 23, 2025 12:08 am

For those who got an IPP via the infrapubic incision approach:

Are you comfortable with where the pump rests in your scrotum?

Does the palpable tubing bother you after recovery?
Thank you.

Not really, as I wasn't consistent enough with pulling the pump down in the first couple of weeks and it migrated upwards and healed there.

I now understand why the nurse was so insistent after surgery that I pull it down regularly.

My bad.
RALP with 75% nerve sparing 10/24.
Some tumescence from 5 weeks post op. Erection improved with pills, stalling @ 60%

Sorry to hear this and I hope things get better for you.

Could you share the pulling protocol advised by your surgeon? Is it done only for the first 2 weeks?
