Not sure if it would be helpful, but when I was googling penile implant surgery drains, I found an article from www.issm.info reviews and reports which goes over pretty much the whole implant thing. It is the first time I saw it. It covers just about everything. It was titled

Avoiding complications in Penile Prosthesis surgery issm. It was dated Dec 2011 so it is a bit dated, but I will be a lot of docs are using something like it.

Also, the surgeon I am choosing for my implant in March tells me he uses a drain. Everything I can find says it is surgeon preference. He prefers to use it and get as much out of the scrotum as he can in the first day. Has anyone had any issues with it.

I have been researching the implant, now just looking at the drain and post op stuff.

Once you have the URL of any site on the web, you can add it to any post. The FrankTalk forum will surround it with the markers to make it a link.

So, when I post " h t t p s: / / w w w .franktalk.org " (if I do not include the spaces) you get a link, like this

https://www.franktalk.org

My surgeon also uses a drain... he gets great results out of it.

I just saw very little here on drains. my doc just said he prefers it for the first day. He said it helps get rid of some of the fluid build up. Everything I read says doc preference but makes no difference if one is not used. Who the F knows.
