MTP 94: Penile Implants - Just the Tips

In this episode of Meet the Penis, Dr. Paul Perito discusses a now-outdated practice in penile implementation where the prosthesis is placed to go up to the mid-glans (head) of the penis. In reality, a well-placed implant should have the tips extend to the native corpora, or tip of the erectile body of the penis.
The field of urologic surgery is constantly advancing with better techniques and methods. Dr. Perito and Perito Urology are pioneers in the field and strive to constantly improve outcomes for patients worldwide.

Dr. I am more then satisfied of the surgery you preformed, thank you

[@envisionCamusa]

Dr. Perito is an awesome doctor. His skills and bedside manner should be taught all around the world.

[@DrPaulPerito]

Thank you!

Dr Perito is the best! He Performed my virgin implant surgery and then my revision when the pump failed. I talked to him about the tip placement and informed me just as he has here, that the ends of my corpora bodies sat back away from the corona of the glans so the tips were not "inside" the glans at all. fortunately, it hasn't been a problem. I don't have floppy glans and as he explained to me there are horror stories from patients whose other implant doctors actually intentionally perforated through the end of the corpora to place the tips mid glans. not good, as this could cause erosion and need for revision.

For whatever it's worth and I don't know how long you've had your implant I'm over 20 months in, floppy head was an issues but it resolved itself quite some time ago. And yes Perito is the best!

​@alexpuchall1540 Hi brother! Good to hear your FG resolved itself. I've had an implant for over 3 years.

[@DrPaulPerito]

Thank you!

How many years did your pump last before revision surgery?

[@northernstar1869]

It was 2.5 years. not typical and we suspect a manufacturing defect. nevertheless, the Doc took great care of me, got a new and slighly larger implant in and back in action. no regrets and very satisfied​@captaincaveman2040

Is the problem with mid glans erosion? Because I can feel mine mid glans and mine was put in by a certified Coloplast center in Atlanta. 4 years and it’s been amazing so far.

[@isaiahcrosson8454]

Did the tips in your glans effect your tumesence any??

[@northernstar1869]

@jerryroberts4745 - IMO (have had two implants within three years) if your tips are still within your corpora bodies and you are fortunate that those bodies extend into the Glans, then (again IMO from how it has been explained to me) you should be fine. A complication could arise if the tips were positioned to protrude outside the end of the bodies and into the Glans.

[@captaincaveman2040]

​@@northernstar18692 implants in 3 years? What went wrong?

[@DrPaulPerito]

It sounds like yours was perfect because of your surgeon AND your anatomy.
