Has anyone had a different prosthesis installed other than what you were told was going to be used? Example: the doctor tells you before your surgery he is gonna use AMS 700 LGX then after surgery he tells you he used a AMS Ambicor instead for whatever reason.
Thanks for your replies.

I received ams cxr instead of ams lgx due to scarring near tip.

No surgeon in there right mind would go from a 3 piece to a 2 piece. Not during your procedure. Great surgeons will maybe go from 18cm to 20cm to size u correctly

Gleason 8.6 cancer? ? didn't want a reservoir in the way for future radiation? Just my guess. Did you have margins after the RP?

I discussed AMS LGX berfore surgery wiith surgeon. Woke up to AMS CX. Surgeon said with my size 21cm + 2cm rte , CX offered much better ridigity.
