Complications of vascular surgery
If you think the penis swells up during an erection, you should see what happens following vascular surgery. Things really swell up for the first two or three weeks following the operation. This involves not only the penis, but the loose tissue in the scrotum as well. A small drainage tube may be placed under the skin of the penis and scrotum for a day or two in an effort to limit this. Ice packs help, but only so much.
Swelling of the glans penis occurs if the surgeon misses a communicating venous branch, which leads to even higher pressure. A return to surgery to tie off the offending branch will take care of the problem. Because the vessels being sewn are so small, the suture line can be disrupted and the vessels torn apart even with normal activities. This will lead to failure.
Up to 20 percent of patients will experience penile shortening and numbness from scar entrapment. As the scar tissue softens, sensation usually returns in twelve to eighteen months if no major nerve has been cut. If anything major has been cut, it may remain numb permanently. Therefore, these procedures should be done at a research center specializing in such complex operations, if at all. But complex operations are very expensive, unlike the cialis, cheap and proven medication.
