I find the fervent reaction of some of the members here, denying any possibility that using "too many" RTEs could cause a problem with the stability/rigidity of an implant, curious.
As people here like to say, everyone is different. Some men will and some men will not experience problems with RTEs, depending on how many are used, the skill of the surgeon & the specific anatomy of the patient.
So, why deny what has been reported in the medical literature and anecdotally about such problems?
If you and others and others have no problems w/your implant w/more than 2cm of RTEs, that's "great" but that doesn't mean that other men may not experience problems if "too many" RTEs are used or that men who are planning to get an IPP shouldn't be warned about possible problems associated w/using too many RTEs.
Denying what has been proven medically is inconsiderate and does a disservice to those men who would benefit from being fully informed of all of the risks involved in getting an IPP.
The facts are the facts, whether you choose to deny them or not.
Hey, I agree, I am just confused and waiting it out. My doc told me he prefers not to us RTEs but then used 2.5cm, he said the pump placement would have been too difficult if he used the 24cm titan. I have read the literature and the vids, and the general consensus seems to be that the less RTEs the better. I am hoping mine will still be okay.
