I debated about posting because I don’t want to discourage anyone from getting implanted but I may have the most revisions on the shortest amount of time. I have had 5 Implant surgeries in two years, granted the last one was to remove and install a semi rigid due to infection.

Don’t know.....over 4 years without any issues.... my Uro stands behind his 10+ years assurance

I have had 1. It was a year to about week since my first implant. Through no fault of mine or implant. Something happened during a hernia surgery. Reservoir was popped.

But seriously. Think about what you are talking about.

Soft dick.

Hard dick.

Semi soft and have sex. Can you say peyronies.

I would have a revision every fin year. Period.

The year they say we just cannot do it. I would count forward from my first implant and say.

Damn I had x years to enjoy a hard dick. Now I will legitimately worry about not having one again.

But till that day happens. This implant is getting fixed. Period. As soon as I can get it scheduled.

The semi rigid implant. Is that the same as saying the malleable rod?

[Tmansdorfer]

Yea that’s the same thing. They put that in while the infection heals. If they remove the implant and don’t put anything in as a placeholder it is hard for them to reimplant the ipp

If you read his post carefully. You'll understand that he had an infection. Using a malleable implant during the treatment of an infection is a common thing. Once the infection is gone. He should have the choice of keeping it or getting it replaced with an inflatable implant.

Yes that is correct , after 3-6 months I will have the ipp reimplanted. They put it as a placeholder during the healing process so in my case it isn’t the full length that the ipp was.
