Do you need to use a VED for blood flow after implant?

[oldbeek]

That is my whole question. So much talk about venous blood flow to the penis. How does an implant supply venous blood flow or will I need use a VED after implant?

After implant blood flow does not get you hard the 2 cylinders in your dick and the pump in your sack it what get you hard. As you squeeze the pump , you will pump about 5 cc of saline to the cylinders with each full pump. To go back to a non erect state you push the delate button that is a part of the pump

Many months ago, I posted the same question. Not because I didn’t understand the mechanics of the implant, but because I was aware that several surgeons, including a high volume one, recommends to use it as part of the post-op protocol in order to assist the cylinders to reach its maximum capability. However, since it is an off-label practice, they don’t openly discuss it due to potential breach of warranty.

Since then, no one has ever comment on my original question.

The only post implant VED use I've read about was in cases where the results of the implant were unsatisfactory. In that instance the VED was used as preparation for the revision. I guess at that point there isn't much concern about damaging the current implant. It certainly isn't something to undertake unless instructed to do so by the doctor.

The use of intracavernosal injections and vacuum erection devices are generally not used after PPI surgery as there is an inherent risk of prosthetic cylinder damage.

In a separate case report, a patient with post-PPI penile shortening underwent vacuum erection device therapy twice daily for 10 minutes per session for approximately 1 year as well as 8 hours of penile traction therapy daily for 8 months. At the time of PPI revision, a prosthesis that was 20% longer in length was used which improved erect penile length by 4.4 cm. The post-PPI traction therapy also increased SPL by 2.3 cm (27).
