After leaving the hospital and walking a bit had some swelling in my testicals. Overnight the left cylinder became hard as a marble but only from the center up to the tip. Of course after hours nurse took notes but could only pass on to office Monday morning. Got to the office Monday and the staff actually tried to charge me a co-pay….. Pissed me off! (Not happening). Got to see Dr. and he saw the issues and brought in the HEAD of urology at the hospital. They agreed it was a suture that pulled post op and trapped the fluid in the cylinder. They said it was the first time in over 25 years they’ve seen this and wanted to fix it right away. I was scheduled for the next morning, They brought in other urologist and students as a teaching point and fixed the issue. I’m home recovering now very little swelling to testicals and slight soreness with staples but felling great and looking forward to 15-20+ years with this one. Fingers crossed…….
I’m still implanted with 22cm +3 rte’s, curve is intact. Haven’t fully pumped up but if I’m anywhere back to 7.5-8 in length and 6-6.2 width I’ll be a happy camper.
Wow I'm sorry you went through all of this. I hope you are doing good now.
Can you explain more about what they meant about a suture that pulled? Are you saying the corpora incision failed and opened? Or something else happened? Trying to picture it on my mind.
How hard was the fix? Did they need to open you up and do a revision right away?
Yes the right corpora suture slipped and tightened, pinching down on the cylinder. As it was explained: as I moved the fluid pressure squeezed into the cylinder top half’s until it was so full it pulled the suture tight enough to pinch it closed. They wanted to go back in while all my incisions were still new so no scar tissue formed yet. They had me in the next morning, sniped the suture and redone it loser then close me up. Took less than 45min and I was on my way home in 3hrs.
I’m home feeling well and hoping for better longevity!
