Titan Premature Failure 2y > Infection from Revision > Tactra Salvage and length loss

[Thisworld]

Hey everybody!

It's been a while...

Long story short, I still have the latest Titan I was implanted with. After my last surgery, it appeared to be infected, so the doctor decided to reopen my balls for a mechanical wash with a pressured device to avoid another salvage (I don't clearly remember the details anymore). Thankfully, that worked. The incision closed, I recovered, and life's been good. No IPP issues thus far.

I've received some messages from people asking about me, and I truly appreciate all the concern. The road to a fully functional IPP can be daunting at times, and this forum has been a godsend. Thank you all for sharing your stories, difficulties, and successes.

I can also definitely say that when things are going well, people don't tend to come back to Franktalk. That's certainly been the case for me. After the dust settled and I recovered, life moved on, and I didn't think about my IPP all that often—which is what we all truly want in the end.

I usually come here to check for updates on new implants entering the market. I look forward to the day we get a Bluetooth IPP so we can all have our balls back, but it's no biggie if that doesn't happen anytime soon.

Huge tip: I suggest you all try a cockring on your shaft (a slightly thicker one is best). I hardly ever use tadalafil anymore. I carry one with me every time I go out for drinks. (Durex Pleasure is my preferred one). Get two, one for backup.

Were you able to recover the lenght lost?

I'm thinking the tubing was damaged by the forceps. In the YouTube videos, it seems that the tubing is frequently pinched shut as all the parts are assembled. They don't want any saline to leak out of the reservoir.
Not saying that this is common or a large fault of the surgeon. But I'm betting on that scenario .

I have wondered if forceps pinching the hard tubes leads to premature failures. I had a similar failure and from watching the YouTube videos of my surgery, I could see the tubes pinched in the same way. Maybe stick a golf tee in the end rather than crush the tube. (Before I am cancelled, I’m sure there is a sterile medical equivalent of a golf tee, but I’m a golfer and not a doctor)

The videos that I watched. The dr used a large syringe to put the saline into the reservoir. Just leave the syringe plugged in is my suggestion. Sometimes, just sometimes the easy answer is right there in front of you (them).
