urethra lengthening

[oldbeek]

On another site there is a guy that says the URO removed 3 1/2 inch of his urethra during RP. He ended up with an inney for a dick. Anyone here had such a problem before implant? Any information available about urethra lengthening operations?

The urethra goes through the prostate. My pathology in 2009 showed (it was in mms) that about 1 3/4" of urethra was contained in it.

Oldbeek, just thinking out loud here. Since the urethra passes though the prostate. I would imagine that every prostate removal shortens the urethra to an extent. Following that thought, it would seem that the urethra must stretch with some work. If it didn't stretch then every man with a removed prostate would be noticeably short forever. Interesting question to think about. Hopefully I'll never find out first hand.

LOL! Well I used to think I had a nine inch penis, then I was diagnosed with a small spot of carcinoma cancer on my urethra. This was like eighteen years ago. I had surgery and the surgeon said he would remove about two inches of the urethra just below the prostrate. As it turned out they also removed the prostrate in case the cancer had spread and some lymph nodes to see if the cancer had spread. To make a long story short after the surgery I had penis that was an inch shorter, but the doctor just laughed and said I never had the full nine inches. He said you still have plenty. He said the urethra stretches just like an intestine and it should not have any effect on your penis.

But then about six months later I had the first implant, and I know that surgery did short change me about an inch. On my second implant or revision as they call it with the LGX I got my length back.

So when they remove the prostrate, it does not effect the length of your tool, BUT! when they first started these type of surgeries, I guess they did not have the measuring tools they have now where there is very little room for error as to retaining your length. Now specialists have perfected that type of surgery. My third revision I was completely healed up in twenty some days. I could not believe it how fast I recovered.

My prostate was 2 inch end to end. I am assuming 2 inch of urethra was removed. Flacid I was only about 3.5 before the RP. After about 1.5. All pulled back in by the urethra shortening. OK. Now I don't understand is why I am 5.5 immediately after the implant. That is a 4 inch increase in soft length. Guess the urethra is shrunk up all the time you are soft. The implant being a small bit ridged keeps the urethra stretched out all the time. It then stretches to 6 when I am hard. Lots to learn about your body after taking it all for granite all these years. Never knew about the cruse muscles on the inside of my thighs, where the whole package is attached either.

Very interesting subject. You guys have just answered the question I've had for sometime now. I suspected that they did just cut the urethra off. The surgeries always show the entire prostrate being removed like a walnut. Reports commonly show a one inch loss in penile length is standard but that after a year everything returns to normal. Now I know why. Thanks

My neighbor had an RP roboticly done could not tell me if they took some urethra or not but did lose an inch.

I lost 2+ inches after RP which happened in November of 2016.
I was not able to recover a bit in RP aftermath despite aggressive penile rehab which involved Cialis, Viagra, VED, TRIMIX, BIMIX etc.
Very little success with anything I tried.

Was implanted 8 months ago and with implant recovered 3/4” so far.
Still shorter 1.25” compared to pre RP state.

Watching a video by a DR Mulhall from MK. He is penis rehab dr. He was saying that your penis is not pulled in during RP. He says the bladder is pulled down instead. He says the shrinkage is from scar tissue. He said that is why rehab needs to start right away. Rehab he recommended was Trimix injections twice a week. I used a VED every day and injections every 4 days.

My wife told me that the doctor told her they kept trying to pull my bladder down and it would not stay down to re-attach the urethra so they pulled my dick inside and stapled my bladder to the rectum to hold it in place. The staple in the rectum could be felt for about a year till it fell out. I never knew when that happened. Just one check-up I was told that "your staple is gone" .
