AMS: Tube near pump

Postby Beachview72 » Wed Mar 27, 2024 11:48 pm

Ams 700: I feel a tube along right side of pump, it goes low behind pump and back up on left. Maybe this is tube to reservoir that was too long and surgeon just ‘tucked the extra length away’ instead of trimming?
Swelling and soreness finally done enough to discover this at 5 weeks post op. Will inquire at next follow up.
Anyone else have this?

If you got an ams pre connected kit there is no splicing. You will get used to it

Did you have your implant done intrapubic? Generally when someone posts about bunched up tubing. Odds are it was done thru the pubic fat pad. Although I do have to say its been awhile since someone has had this complaint. Maybe the drs got better at routing the tubing. Either way, you'll get used to it.

Procedure was peno-scrotal. Yep, I’m sure I’ll get used to it. Thanks Gt1956 and oldbeek
