If I ever had an implant it would be through Dr David Ralph in London, and he implants over 200 a year.

Is this considered a high volume implanter?

Thanks,

High enough in my opinion. My doctor was supposed to do 2 per week and the result was almost perfect.

Dr Ralph has been mentioned a bunch over the years on FT. Do a search and see what pops up… and in my opinion 200 a year would qualify for me. My Dr said around 250 and he did a great job except for placement of the resivour which his excuse was my 20 year prior double hernia with mesh.

My dr. does over 300 a year he told me it is also a teaching hospital so that may make a difference. Out of all the implants only about 50 a year are MPP's

I think this has been lost with recent posts. The things is you do not need a doctor that does 200, 300, or more a year. The doctors doing those numbers are certainly specialist and good doctors to go to. This large number study has the top group at greater than 31 implants a year. https://www.garber-online.com/pdf/Highe ... ctions.pdf What you want to try to avoid is the lower 0-2 implants a year doctors if you can. The thing is if you look at that study you find a large percentage of implants are done low volume doctors. If I read this correctly over 50% of implants are done by low volume doctors. And even so implanted men report over 90% satisfaction.

agree with the previous post. Definition of high volume is probably just avoiding the urologist that does 0-2 implants/month. >200 a year a one of the higher volume surgeons. Dr. Ralph is a very well known Urologist and implant surgeon - many folks on frank talk as well as many scientific publications and videos. He handles a lot of complex cases.

What is MPP?

Maximum Pee Power or Mega Painless Procedures

JUST KIDDING

Malleable Penile Prosthesis

These numbers 100/200/300/400 implants per year are super inflated, where is the data? To make themselves bigger, every doctor says to do many more implants than he actually does

Thanks guys.

I'm going to see him next month to talk about my options. Pelvic pain hard flaccid getting worse and now making keeping an erection longer than a minute difficult even with stimulation.
