DOCTOR ACCURATE MEASUREMENT ON OPERATING TABLE

[TheDongDangler]

Hey everyone, getting a malleable soon with Dr Karaman in Turkey.

What’s the most accurate way to measure your length and give you the penis size you really have?

1. Saline injection during operation
2. Metal ruler during operation

Also, is there any point to use a VED before and after ?

The studies that have been done on penis size have instructed men to self-measure bone pressed length. Usually done with a wood, plastic or metal ruler pressed to the pubic bone just above the penis. Erection size will very a bit in healthy men and is greatest just before orgasm. That is when Glans engorgement and erection is at maximum. Oral meds can cause that to increase though as can injections.

This is different from the size measured during surgery. Some doctors are more aggressive with inflatable measurement and will even add a bit or size up. With malleable as you will not be able to deflate to take pressure off the device the method for measurement is to subtract a bit to prevent erosion.

If you are no longer having nocturnal erections (morning wood) or greatly reduced erections and have started having size loss, then VED before surgery will help to restore loss that is still restorable. At least 8 weeks is recommended. There are 2 very good documents in the "documents worth reading thread" in the "general discussion" section of this forum. Look for the "how to use a penis pump for penis exercise" document down in the VED section. Several documents above the VED section is another document "maintaining size before implant".

These are mainly targeted at men who are getting inflatable devices, but some results should be seen with a malleable.

The only benefit for VED use or manual stretching after malleable implant would be to avoid erosion. As the malleable will not grow in length and girth like an inflatable will, there is no need for it to regain lost size. An inflatable will be cycled to expand, and others have had results like I did even a year after implant. A malleable does not inflate or expand in size and will always be the same size. So, doctors have to size down a bit because of the risk for erosion. If you are starting to have erosion, then manual stretching with VED or even just pulling the glans forward to reduce pressure on the distal tips would be the only reason for this. If done and not needed to avoid erosion I would think you would risk floppy glans.

I was advised to used VED before surgery which I did for 6 weeks prior .. was told not to use it afterwards with a mallabble implant due to it possibly stretching the tissue out and causing issues with the implant such as floppy head .. my surgeon is world renowned and has taught many of the other surgeons around the country so I trust his word to some degree ..

I guess I did not understand what you were asking. I will try again and hope I can hit closer to center mass.

During every surgery in which a penile implant is done the doctor will measure down or proximal in your body and up or distal to your glans. This is the space in the corpora that the device will fit into. My doctor measured me 11 cm up and 11 cm down. The measurement is taken with a measuring rod. As I said this is done in every operation. Some doctors will fill the corpora with saline to induce an erection at the start the operation. Others like my doctors do not do this. Just depends on the doctor. With or without the saline induced erection during surgery doctors are able to properly size men for the type of device being implanted.

Sizing has more to do with doctor selection than with if the induce an erection with saline. And the accurate measurement done in every surgery is with measuring rod. Sometimes the rod is metal and others it is some type of plastic.
