Is an hour and a half too long for implant surgery?

Jesus christ. We don’t know you or your surgeon. Surgery takes as long as it needs to.

My understanding is infrapubic can be done in under an hour, penoscrotal takes 60 to 90 minutes.

How long did mine take? No idea. From the start of the journey from the ward to the theatre to comming out of anaesthesia and back in the ward was just over 3 hours, but my surgeon had to deal with another urgent case as I was entering the theatre and I have a history of slow recovery from anaesthesia.

Perito brags about doing his in under 45 minutes. I don’t want a fast job! If it takes 1-1/3 hours or even 2 I just want it done right. No idea how long my actual surgery took. But like previous text from time I Said nite nite til I woke up was about 2-1/2 hours but a lot of after recovery time waking up.

I am sure it also has to do with how much suturing is necessary. I had scrotoplasty for turkey neck which is a fairly long incision and also had a lot of scar tissue to bore through… he said he considered going in near the corona but was finally able to get to the tips. It took the full 90 minutes or so. But without those issues it would have been much less.

While waiting for my surgery, Hakky had a patient before me. He was slated to take 75 minutes. Whether it actually took that time or not I’m not sure.

Mine was a malleable and it was finished in 30 minutes due to simplicity of the surgery: so for an IPP, the one hour 30 minutes sounds very normal to me.

My surgeon told me that it takes an hour and a half for implant surgery. Is this considered too long?

No. Could be up to 2 hours even under normal circumstances. You don't want anyone to rush this procedure. Everyone's circumstances are different.

75min seems to be Hakky’s standard estimate. It’s what he said to me, but mine took an additional 15min because he had to clear out some fibrosis that didn’t appear on the ultrasound.

I’d much rather have a surgeon take his time than try to get it done fast. Only other surgeons who want to get in as many surgeries in a day would be impressed by how fast it can be done.

Hakky told me he spends a lot of time on suturing because that incision is the last line of defense against infection and needs to be correct.

Judge the surgeon on the outcome, not on the time of surgical procedure

For reference, after 3 weeks I am starting to see my insurance items comming through.

Anaesthetist has claimed
"1:31 hours to 1:45 hours (7 basic units)"

Pretty good indicator of how long my penscrotal op took.

Be it 45 minutes or 2 hours don't fret it. Once mine was in he found some issues and all is well today over 2 years later Coloplast Titan.
