No „morphological“ change in length anymore in flaccid mode. Flaccid stays the same, all the time. I think this is indeed related to the corpus cavernous which has been replaced with the plastic cylinders.


daddel:

Is the corpus cavernosum then completely, or mostly, hollowed out to accommodate the cylinders?


It's my understanding that they don't "hollow out" any tissue, they simply poke an hole with the measuring instrument, and pull the implant into the cavernousum with the attached suture. It displaces the spongy tissue.
As far as its abilityo to retract, it's simply limited by the deflated cylinder length.


Bigdave:

Aren't the corpora the spongy tissue?

As I understand it, there are two different techniques for implantation. One is called "tissue-sparing" and the other has no specific name I know of.

One doctor describing the operation to me (before my implant) said specifically that tissue would be removed. But he was a resident on his urology rotation, so you may want to apply a discount to what he told me.

Do a search in FrankTalk for "tissue-sparing" to find more discussion, but I don't believe the question has ever been definitively answered.here.
