What surgeons are willing to trim larger cylinders instead of using RTEs?

[Bwtbbb]

So where did you get your data to support RTE’s causing a wobbly erection?Post that info based on a medical study and I’ll get concerned.My erections are like a steel rod!You won’t be able to come up with anything because there are no problems based on medical facts regarding this!

That’s an example of a surgeon who placed the wrong size cylinders in a patient and he came back and put the correct size in.Nothing to do with RTE’s causing a problem when they put the correct ones in.The problem I have with your post is new people coming on here read it and think RTE’s will cause a wobbly erection as you call it and when used properly like they are everyday is just false!

Did you watch the video with audio turned off? You don't seriously think you know better than Dr. Eid do you?

Hey,you can believe anything you choose.Do you have an implant?I do and I can tell you RTE’s when used correctly are a good thing.For every time there is a problem with them,there are hundreds that work perfectly.You’re taking the opinion of one doctor,who is well respected,but many others that use them everyday with no problems.Go get an implant anyway you choose and good luck with that!

I’ve got two RTE’s on each side and have had my implant over two years with absolutely non problems and I use the hell out of it!I have never heard RTE’s are bad and cause problems,they are used to make the cylinders fit properly if the length needed to reach mid glans comes up a little short!

Just because you're happy with it doesn't mean that they don't cause you any problems. You probably have/will have a more wobbly erection which most men would prefer not to have.

The location of the junction betweeh the rear tip of the implant and the inflatable tubes is important. If it is deep in your crus where your scar tissue holds the implannt or further forward. If the tissues (that is, your tissues) holding the rear portion of the implant are adhered to the nonexpanding rear tip, they have only so much tension or strength of grip that develops on the implant. Over time, that grip is just a certain tension. If the tissues are holding onto the inflatable portion of the implant, that grip gets to that same degree of tension or strength around the uninflated implant. But when you inflate, that grip tension is greater. For the relatively short time you remain inflated the implant is held more tightly than when the implant is uninflated. That is how it was explained to my by Dr Eid several years ago in an email.

It is not that they cause problems. It is that fewer RTEs put the inflatable portion of the implant deeper in your supporting pelvic crus' structure.

He also wrote about the importance of the junction between the rear tip and the inflatble portion being less stable than the inflatable tube, but did not go into details over that issue. But it was sufficient to say that having that junction stabilized as deep in the crus as possible was advantageous to a stable angle of erection.

I don't have medical journal citations, but do know there has been at least one study mentioned (and linked) in FrankTalk.

Well it is so true about the RTE’s having an effect on the angle of your erection. Mine was at 5 when pumped up. Also you could feel the wires because I had 5 cm of RTE’s. Well my CX has failed me so I am waiting to see my doctor. I am trying to find another urologist that will install a colopast. It should be 24 cm with no RTE’s. If RTE’s are needed it shouldn’t be no more than 1 cm. I really enjoy having an implant and mine probably failing because of the usage. Lol! I think I have broken Wilt Chamberlains record. My pump had malfunction I couldn’t deflate it completely. I was in pain so I was squeezing trying to deflate it and I heard a pop and I knew it was broken. I got to wait until I get on someone schedule for a revision.

I know Eid does and I think Clavell too, but are there any others?

Has anyone asked another surgeon to do it and been rejected?

In the thread about Eid being on sick leave I read that another man was referred to Dr. Billy Cordone. That he was trained and dose the surgery the way Dr. Eid does. I would then think there is a good chance he will also trim the proximal end of the cylinder.
