I would never have allowed him to do the revision. After discussing my results with him at activation he acted like the surgery was a success, in his words I just needed to take Viagra before sex to help engorge the glans which the implant stopped short of. One of the reasons I had surgery was to no longer need drugs.
My current implant was done by Dr. Kramer which was done approximately 3 months later. In comparison to my first surgery my revision was much better, the pain was less and the heal time was much faster. Some of those benefits came from the scrotal approach vs. the first being infrapubic in my opinion. My first implant was undersized 4cm and the pump position was terrible, revision fixed the floppy head and pump placement, cylinders are still undersized, video stated I would receive the 22cm Titan + 1 RTE. but paperwork shows I got a 20cm + 1. Could the Coloplast sales rep gave the doctor the wrong unit during the procedure? I also have a left twist in the head and shaft from the left cylinder being 1-5cm deeper in the glans vs. the right side
I can have sex with my current implant but not what me or my wife's expectations were. I spent many months researching the surgery and felt I would have a very successful outcome. I had sex months before my surgery using Viagra and had successful erections but would lose them during sex, so I shouldn't have suffered any loss in size. I think it's a roll of the dice on success or failure, just too many variables. I know all doctors want the best possible outcome, but can't garantee success.
Thanks again for everyone who post on this site. I felt it was my responsibility to add my story for those who are in investigating an IPP. They need to read the negative outcomes as well as the many great success stories we've all read here.

Ok, I get what you are saying about Dr. Baum being the first one to screw up BUT when Dr. Krammer did the revision, he should have replaced the cylinders for the PROPER SIZE... there is no point in doing a
revision if you're not going to
revise anything. He should fix you for free.
