Is an hour and a half too long for implant surgery?
My surgeon told me that it takes an hour and a half for implant surgery. Is this considered too long?

Jesus christ. We don’t know you or your surgeon. Surgery takes as long as it needs to.

My understanding is infrapubic can be done in under an hour, penoscrotal takes 60 to 90 minutes.
How long did mine take? No idea. From the start of the journey from the ward to the theatre to comming out of anaesthesia and back in the ward was just over 3 hours, but my surgeon had to deal with another urgent case as I was entering the theatre and I have a history of slow recovery from anaesthesia.

ED since my 40s, managed by pills.
Increasingly severe BPH, emergency HoLEP prostatectomy Nov 2021.
Fixed the prostate but pills slowly became less and less effective.

Perito brags about doing his in under 45 minutes. I don’t want a fast job! If it takes 1-1/3 hours or even 2 I just want it done right. No idea how long my actual surgery took. But like previous text from time I Said nite nite til I woke up was about 2-1/2 hours but a lot of after recovery time waking up.
59 years old ED started mid 40s pills failed after 10 years. Injections works but diminishing results with pain. Implanted 5-22 Baylor,Scott,and White Dallas.Dr Michael Wierschem, infrapubic Coloplast with Classic pump 20cm and 1cm RTE. Going strong

I am sure it also has to do with how much suturing is necessary. I had scrotoplasty for turkey neck which is a fairly long incision and also had a lot of scar tissue to bore through… he said he considered going in near the corona but was finally able to get to the tips. It took the full 90 minutes or so. But without those issues it would have been much less.

While waiting for my surgery, Hakky had a patient before me. He was slated to take 75 minutes. Whether it actually took that time or not I’m not sure.
Mine was a malleable and it was finished in 30 minutes due to simplicity of the surgery: so for an IPP, the one hour 30 minutes sounds very normal to me.

ED since high school. Pills always hit or miss, mostly ineffective. Finally diagnosed with venous leak in early September 2025.
Rigi10 MPP 11mm implanted w/ Dr Hakky on January 20, 2026. Recovering.

No. Could be up to 2 hours even under normal circumstances. You don't want anyone to rush this procedure. Everyone's circumstances are different.
Born 1990. ED since age 20 after a bicycle accident. Coloplast Genesis malleable implanted December 2024 by the great Dr. Laurence Levine in Chicago.
