DDBryan, and all others who might be interested, consider the following scenario:
There are two ways to put two plastic cylinders in a limp dick.
One increases chances of a perfect pump placement and of measuring the dick to get the perfect sized cylinders and of getting the tubing nicely hidden. It also slightly increases the risk of infection.
The other makes it easier to put in the reservoir in severely obese patients, or in patients with a non-normal internal abdomen, e.g. after surgery for other issues.
The former method requires more skill simply because it is technically more difficult to master.
There are thousands of surgeons doing this surgery.
Not all are equally skilled, due to talent, training, but most of all due to experience.
Doing thousands of implant surgeries makes someone more skilled than doing dozens.
Just like Tiger Woods swings that driver so much better than myself, and Roger Federer hits that forehand so much better than I ever do.
The best, most skilled, most experienced surgeons choose the difficult method, because they can master it and get the best possible results for their patients.
The not so skilled, not so experienced surgeons choose the easiest method, because they can get the job done with it. They would not choose the most difficult method because they know they are not skilled or experienced enough to get good results with it. So by choosing the easiest method, they also put their patients best in focus. Because by choosing the more difficult method, the one they don't master, they would put their patients at risk.
Just like Roger Federer hits his second serve in 160 km/h with huge spin, and an amateur hits a flat shitty soft serve. Federer's way produces better results for a world class tennis player. But for the amateur, it would only result in a double fault. So he chooses a, for the pro, worse method, but one that for the amateur's skill level produces better results. Heck, better get a shitty serve in play than hit a double fault..?
So for a surgeon who masters both methods, he would on average produce better results with the more difficult method. Because he masters both methods, and one method allows him to perfect the result and work less in 'blindness' when measuring for size, when placing the pump and the tubing. And he has developed his own techniques to avoid infection, and hence can do the former method still with a world class infection rate.
But for a surgeon who does not master both methods, because of his lack of skills or experience, he would on average produce better results with the easier method. It is better for him to get the pump slightly off and to compensate for a poor cavernosum measurement with a stack of RTEs, than it is to go for the method he doesn't master and screw up completely. And since he hasn't developed the same world class infection reducing techniques, he definitely wants to choose the method which minimises risk for infection.
So both docs put their patient's best in mind. They are just coming in from different angles.
I am not saying my totally taken out-of-the-blue scenario is the truth, because what the fuck do I know, I am just a guy with an implant who talked and listened to and read what a few of authorities in the field have to say about it.
But maybe, just maybe, this is how it is..?
