Penoscrotum vs infrapubic
I have been lurking around FT for a while in anticipation of my own surgery in May. I note that there seems to be many more men receiving the penoscrotal surgery than the infrapubic. I also noticed that those with the infrapubic surgery seem to experience less pain and scrotal swelling as well as a quicker return to sex than those who had the penoscrotal approach. My own surgery will be the with the infrapubic approach and my surgeon predicts that I will be having sex in 3 wks. I hope he is right, but other than the usual surgical risks, am I being a bit naive to trust this prediction? If 3 weeks is not out of the question, then why aren't more surgeons using the infrapubic approach? Just asking and not being judgemental here.
74 y/r, ED becoming worse following nerve sparing RPP 2009. Scheduled for surgery early May with Dr Perito.

Re: Penoscrotum vs infrapubic
I had the scrotal surgery and also began after3 weeks.
I would worry about palpable tubing, but I really don't know. I believe the pubic approach is easier for the surgeon since the reservoir would be easier to install.
Good luck with your surgery though.
