Waynetho, do you have your A and B mixed up? My infrapubic installation the tubes attach at top then loop down to the pump. One tube comes back up from the pump block to the reservoir.Waynetho wrote:Trchd1 wrote:so are you saying that method "A" cannot be used via penoscrotal?
Now that you have the illustrations posted, Method A is most common for infrapubic because the cylinders are installed via dorsal corporotomies (top) from the pubic region. It would be awkward to say the least, to get the corporotomies on the top side of the corpora while accessing them from a penoscrotal incision.
Method B is very typical of a penoscrotal surgery because the corporotomies are on the ventral (bottom) side of the corpora, very easily accessible from the penoscrotal incision.

Re: Two different ways to install an AMS CX cylinder involving tubing issues
No, based on the illustrations the OP posted, method A is infrapubic with the tubes on top. Method B is penoscrotal with the tubes on the bottom.
[EDIT: I apparently saw the image wrong or mis-remembered it. "B" has the tubing over the top, thus "INFRAPUBIC" and "A" has the tubing underneath, thus "PENOSCROTAL".]

Re: Two different ways to install an AMS CX cylinder involving tubing issues
Did you have peno-scrotal or infra-pubic installation?
If scrotal I wonder how the tubing to the pump would go up?
Something doesn't sound right and I don't think it reflects well on Dr Kramer's operation.
Either definition of operation applies.
Could they have used the longer tubing used for infra-pubic if peno-scrotal
Maybe the tubing can be pulled down eventually?
So many questions.

Dr Kramer used the penoscrotal
I'm pretty sure that's the only method that he uses
Re: Two different ways to install an AMS CX cylinder involving tubing issues
I wonder how the cylinder to pump tubing could get to the side?
I wonder if after your swelling goes down, you'll be able to move the tubing.
In my peno-scrotal result, I can only feel tubing in the scrotum.
I hope your condition improves.

In my penoscrotal installation, the left cylinder tube and the reservoir tube run down the left side and the right cylinder tube runs down the right side. The three quick connects are palpable right at the base.

So you're saying at the base of your penis right next to your body you don't feel any tubes at all?

So can you feel the two tubes on the left base of your penis and one tube on the right?

That's correct. The only tubing I can feel is in the scrotum.
It wouldn't preclude cow girl or BJ if I had someone who was adventurous.

Yes, not just the tubes but the quick connects that joined the pump tubes to the cylinder and reservoir tubes. All tubes can be felt at the base, on either side respectively.
