Torn Urethra

Postby worried » Sun Mar 09, 2014 10:59 pm

I had a Colorplast implant on February 26, 2014. According to the Doctor, he was unaware that I had Peyronies disease. During the procedure, the Doctor tore the urethra and was only able to implant one chamber. The Doctor believes that the only issue will be a small loss of girth and that I should be satisfied with the finished product. If not, the Doctor tells me that we can try the procedure again in approximately 3 months and now that he is aware of the issue he is confident that the implant can be completed successfully. Has anyone else experienced this?
Otherwise, a little pain. A little discoloration and a lot of swelling. Off work for at least 3 weeks.

If you use the advanced search function and search the implant forum for "urethra" you will find, mixed in with the results, one case of a "punctured" urethra, and another case of a "perforated" urethra. If you also search the implant forum for "one side scar tissue" you will find some posts by a person that had only one cylinder implanted due to scar tissue. Those are the only cases I recall where there was anything similar to your case.

First thing I would do would change doctors there is no excuse of not knowing you had peyronie disease. Any exam would have showed this up. Where do you live at?
Unless you had a lot of plaque it should not have made that much difference,Titian is the correct choice for this however.
