5.25 is a good size... with the scar tissue you have from the graft placement and
Removal,
PMMA might not be a good idea. lol at your last line... no - really - i would be in the hospital.
when he said he couldn\'t find healthy tissue, -- i can give this more context
I had a wound that you saw in the other thread that separated. The thought was
PMMA got in that wound and never let it close.
So, my doc was determined to get any fibrosis from the
PMMA FAR away from where he was connecting the skin edges. So, he went a little too agressive (imo) and removed 1-2\" x 1/2\" of penile skin (it\'s still bandaged) which included that open wound and the large
Nodule i had on the base of my shaft, which had attachments all over the inside of my penis. he didn\'t want to dissect it off the
Dartos fascia and skin. he wanted \"virgin\" skin untouched by
PMMA, which should have been possible because he was working under my shaft for a lot of it (but the
PMMA leaked there - if you look in my journal, the VERY first thing I was freaking out about on 3/28 is that the
PMMA all leaked under my shaft...and sure enough it was still there in a big wad 4.5 months later...it was not swelling) he just didn\'t know where that wad ended. I think a doctor like Alter might have been more willing to do more dissection rather than making this big incision... but once he got tissue that looked healthy, then he felt better about closing the wound. He just didn\'t want to close the wound with
PMMA in there since i already had multiple wound separations.
The scar tissue that forms around the
PMMA beads is very tough, annoying, stuff...and it\'s really a headache for surgeons because cutting it without damaging the penile skin is hard. I don\'t know how darkstaff\'s doc got it out. It\'s glued to the skin practically...but I also had it on the
Dartos fascia which is bizarre since most people don\'t have it stuck to that (that\'s the layer just under the skin).
PMMA sticks to bucks fascia typically.
