go hijacked (in which I sheepishly admit being complicit, drawn into it)
But it asks a good question pertinent to younger men who may expect to need implant replacement (revisions) a few times in their lifetimes.
How much risk of infection is there with the first revision? Does that risk increase with subsequent revisions.
I have put a post in that thread inviting continuation of the debate in a thread actually dedicated to the question. This one.
Does risk of infection increase with multiple operations/revisions

This is a good topic. Hopefully some patients of top docs can ask their doc what their opinion is and report back to us.

Yes, I think so. Every time you implant, you ll put bacteria in the body. The no-touch technique counteract this phenomenon.
First implant I had swelling, the second implant I had to take levofloxacin because of redness and swelling.
Third time I had pump erosion due to erosion and I have my explantation tuesday.
I had young (38), no health conditions (no diabetis).
I just may have some staph bacteria in my system (skin or tissue) that made infection.
Most of the time you are contamined with you own bacteria.
