Revision surgery after 6 months (subcoronal)

Postby Ljammmm » Tue Jun 02, 2026 3:47 pm

Hi all,

I wanted to start a new thread as its been some 4 months since I last posted here.

Basically don't story short, Dr Ralph implanted me in Novemebr 25. Straight away I had sharpe pain in the tip, curvature and hour glassing near the base. Had a MRI which confirmed this also.

Dr Ralph recommended waiting until the 6 month mark ti see if this resolved.

So had the phone call to catch up with him today and the issues are still present. He's asked for some updated photos to review but mentioned a subcoronal approach (cutting below the glans and what looks like kn google degloving the penis).

I cant put into words how much i hate this idea but I want to make sure im not getting myself concerned over nothing, have anyone else had similar done on here and could you share story?

Also has anyone else had scar tissue dealt with after the original implant and how was this dealt with when you had it done?

Thank in advance for any help or advice, its really appreciated cause if shitting myself over this!

What was the cause of the pain in the glans? I had an implant with Ralph in April. My glans is still curved downwards but not my shaft. I'm waiting to see him to discuss next month.

What is your curvature?
Mid 30s. UK. ED since mid teens. Tried pills, injections, P Shot, Gainswave, ESWT shockwave, Vertica, VED, traction, MUSE, Vitaros.

Implanted by Professor Ralph at UCLH on 1st April 2026 with Rigicon Infla10 AX 22cm + 1 RTE. Penuscrotal approach.

Hello,

One of my revisions was done through a subcoronal (circumcoronal) approach. It sounds frightening when you first think about it, but in the end it's just another surgical incision.

After I recovered, I noticed no difference at all in sensitivity.

If you'd like, I can send you a photo showing how it looked after healing.

I had a non-degloving subcoronal incision for my 1st implant. My distal foreskin has chronic lymphatic swelling as I was not circumcised when I was cut. I manage it with gauze wraps during my waking hours. My sensitivity took some hit.

Hi TenDan, thanks you that is very reassuring, did they do a full degloving or was it just a window?

I would really appreciate a photo of possible, ive been googling (wish I hadn't) and most of them are during the op, would be good to see how it heals

Im so sorry your going through this, do you mind if I ask how long ago your operation was and if the surgeon has a plan to resolve the issue?

Was you with a high volume surgeon?

This is back to putting me off it after the reply before yours won me over a bit. Im really hoping he comes back saying this is not needed once he's seen the photos
