Any cons of infrapubic approach

[Captain1117]

I was watching few renowned surgeons mentioning patients having sex in two weeks post implant since their incision was not in scrotum but infra pubic.

Then we see Dr.Eid and Dr.Kramer doing peno scrotal surgeries.Am I missing something ?

Question for infrapubic implatees:

1.How fast was your recovery and
2. and cons of the infrapubic approach ?

Thanks

Just had infrapubic by Dr. Karpman last May:
- Started cycling 3 days after surgery.
- Sex: 3 weeks post-op with full healing.

Cons
Greater potential for nerve damage.
The surgical scar is easier to see than one on the scrotum
the insertion of the pump is not so easy to see and the tubing is routed in a less convenient and longer path (as I understand it - I could be wrong)

Pros
reservoir is easier to place
less trauma to the scrotum
surgical site/incision is easier to keep clean and sterile during post-up healing.

Another con I read is that there is a potential to end up short changing the size a bit that way, unless you really have an experienced implanter. Kramer's and other's videos I've watched he really says the exposure of the corpora is so much better penoscrotally and more reliable, accurate measurements that way.

Nerve damage is over discussed here. Only happens if you use a hack doctor. Those teaching the procedure (Perito , Karpman) say the nerve bundle is very easy to recognize. I don't see any difference in access for measurement either. Tubing is more on top though. If you have a deep cruse, more RTEs are needed to get the tubes to exit on top beyond the pubic bone. I have 5cm of RTE and have no problem with it.

My infra pubic AMS 700lgx model has no connectors done in the operating room. All factory connections. Don't know if that is available with other models. Just another place for a leak.Check into that also.
