Numbness risk - infrapublic or penoscrotal better?

[Chevalier]

I am going to have surgery this year—my biggest fear is permanent numbness, which is sometimes reported here. Does it make a difference in terms of risk whether you have infrapublic or pensoscrotal surgery?

Using a high-volume, dedicated implanter reduces risks to 1%. Zero risk is impossible with any invasive surgery.

My understanding is that penoscrotal is less risky for possible nerve damage. I had penoscrotal and I have slight numbness at the incision and just above it slightly affecting the shaft but not noticeable during sex. Only to the touch. Doc said give it about 6 months for feeling to return fully.

I think it's definitely more common than officially reported. I have numbness on underside from penoscrotal, but I still have enjoyable sex. I think dorsal and glans numbness is more problematic.. and is more likely from infrapubic.
