2nd Revision Scheduled 4/7
2nd Revision Scheduled 4/7
I just recently had a revision rupture & fail 5 months into its install. Just booked my second revision with Dr Hakky on 4/7/2020. This time Coloplast has stepped in & has waived all fees for the new implant. Also, Dr. Hakky is going to install this revision free of charge. All I will pay is for the hospital charges. Previously, he had revised me with just changing the pump/bulb which was the Genesis pump. The Coloplast Director of Medical Affairs got me in touch with Dr. Wilson who has been on the cutting edge of penile implants & who has installed over 11,000 implants in his career. He advised me that converting to the One Touch Coloplast pump was a better idea than going with the Genesis pump this go around. Previously my 2 failed Genesis pumps had ruptured & failed while having sex, which he said should absolutely never happen. He thinks that the most recent Genesis pumps had obviously been a bad lot of untitled made apparently. Also, I’m supposed to be called by Dr. Perito for extra guidance & more peace of mind. Even though this is a very trying time for me it is actually very cool to see that Coloplast has intervened to get me direct contact information for the industry leaders for extra advice. Both Dr. Wilson & the Coloplast Director of Medical Affairs both agreed that these 2 failures are a super rare case. Either way I’m looking forward to converting to the One touch pump system even tho it has been known to lock out on the deflate which can be apparently remedied by pressing very hard on the pump bulb to release the slippy disc valve. Anyone have any advice or tips against this One Touch pseudo-malfunction?
Implanted by Dr. Hakky on August 6th, 2018 Coloplast 22 cm. Genesis pump failure 8/17/19. Revision 9/10/2019. Genesis pump failed 2/27/2020 while having sex. Second revision scheduled 4/7/2020 with new Titan One Touch pump instead of Genesis
Re: 2nd Revision Scheduled 4/7
Just wanted to say good luck. Getting revised myself but going to an lgx. I will say though I loved my titan otr. I never had an issue with it. Push the button. I deflated. If I wanted to I could squeeze to get it squishier.
I am more nervous about going to something besides the titan and the small bulb otr pump.
Best.

18 cm plus 1 rte titan installed March 2019. Revision March 2020 by Dr. Andrew Todd, Richmond KY. He replaced the titan with an AMS 700 LGX 18 cm cylinder plus 2 rte for 20 cm total length.

I almost thought about going with an Lgx. I thought the OTR bulb/pump was larger?
