Oversize fix

Postby Stewy78 » Mon Mar 22, 2021 11:39 am

Unfortunately i have to undergo for another surgery (the fourth in the last 14 months).. this time to fix the oversized left side of my titan installed 4 months ago. Dr. Eid told me he can fix it cutting the perineum and removing the 1 cm of rte on that side.
Anyone had this type of surgical fix?

I have pain on that when inflated to max but I can have sex without much discomfort if i don't inflate too much. I'd really like to avoid the surgery but doctor said that it can cause damage in the long term..

Since the complication was caused by Dr Eid, is he charging you for the surgery to fix it?

I am getting ready for this. I have what you are describing with my right cylinder hurting all the time to some degree even when just setting. Feels like the RTE is pushing up and is always sore. The left is un secured. Had another visit with a doctor in KC and he had 2 guys with him this time to show how the left cylinder proximal or RTE end flops around. He showed both of them then had them each feel it moving it around. It's at KU so it's a teaching hospital so I understand but really made the 3 hour drive home painful. He did agree to change the surgery from a repair to a replacement and check both cylinders and everything else before just doing a repair so I may have a total replacement. For the left side he will very likely need to build a suture sling. Don't know if he will change out one or both 1cm RTE's for .5 or even remove. He said he most likely will need to do 2 incisions. One in the normal location penoscrotal and the second in my perineum. Said I would not be able to inflate for 6 weeks for the sling to heal. You may not have to wait as long and might ask if going with a .5 cm RTE would work. I just want a pain free implant that works properly. My surgery is scheduled for 3 weeks from tomorrow. When are they doing yours? Did he say how long before you could inflate again?

Hi sorry for late reply. I should have new surgery on April 22th.
I just did a mri as suggested by my local urologist and he told me that there are just a few millimeters of difference between the two cylinders ( i have pain on the left side) and he suggested to avoid another surgery for that. I post the mri images (the side that hurts is the one with the red mark). What do you think about it? I don't really know what to do, i would really Like to avoid another surgery and another travel to US, especially with pandemic but I also don't want that the implant may cause damage to the penis.

You *could* try doing a bit of traction (e.g. even just manual) to see if you can stretch the tissue enough for it to be comfortable. IDK, just an idea.

Steve87,

Sorry to hear about your issues. I hope you find a solution soon.

Also, thanks for posting the MRI images. It’s interesting to see an internal view of the implant at work. I assume you were inflated during the scan? Was that awkward?

Currently, my right cylinder is roughly 0.5 cm further into my glans than the left—so perhaps similar to your situation? I think it’s just due to my anatomy being uneven, but am a little worried it will be an issue given your experience.

No issues at all during the scan. Yes I was inflated. I think if you have no pain or discomfort you have nothing to worry. Unfortunately i have pain if i inflate 100% but I can sex with some minor discomfort if pumped at about 70/80%

Luis Fernandez, I 100% agree with your suggestion. He is young, he tissues are elastic if he does some traction manual or with a VED, he could fix it and adjust the cylinder and eventually the pain will go away. We are no doctors but it makes sense.

Personally, I would not have another surgery. If I can have sex, pain free at 70-80%, I would do that. I would imagine over time, the tissues would stretch so there would not be pain at full inflation.

I’m not a doctor, that’s just my opinion.
