How long does Penuma surgery take?

Penuma surgery is typically a short outpatient procedure that takes about 45 minutes to an hour to complete. The surgery is performed under general anesthesia, so you will be asleep during the procedure.

The surgeon will make a small incision in the scrotum and insert the Penuma implant. The implant is then positioned around the penis and secured in place. The incision is then closed with stitches.

After surgery, you will need to wear a compression garment for several days. You may also experience some pain and swelling, which can be managed with medication.

Most patients are able to return home the same day as surgery. You should avoid strenuous activity for several weeks, but you should be able to resume most normal activities within a few days.

Here is a more detailed breakdown of the Penuma surgery timeline:

• Pre-surgery: You will meet with your surgeon to discuss the procedure and your expectations. You will also have a physical exam and bloodwork.
• Day of surgery: You will arrive at the surgery center and be taken to a pre-op room. You will be given medication to relax you and prepare you for surgery.
• Surgery: The surgery takes about 45 minutes to an hour. You will be asleep during the procedure.
• Post-surgery: You will wake up in the recovery room and be monitored by the nursing staff. You will then be taken to your room to rest.
• Day 1: You will wear a compression garment and may experience some pain and swelling. You should avoid strenuous activity.
• Days 2-7: You can resume most normal activities, but you should still avoid strenuous activity.
• Weeks 2-4: You should continue to avoid strenuous activity. The swelling should go down and you should start to see results from the surgery.
• Weeks 4-8: You can resume sexual activity.
• Months 3-6: The swelling should be gone and you should see the full results of the surgery.

The duration of Penuma surgery can vary based on several factors, including the surgeon’s experience, the complexity of the procedure, and individual patient characteristics. Generally, Penuma surgery is a relatively straightforward procedure, but the exact time can vary. On average, the surgery typically takes around 1 to 2 hours.

Here’s a rough breakdown of the time involved in different stages of the surgery:

1. Preparation and Anesthesia: The time spent on preparing the patient for surgery and administering anesthesia can vary. This might take around 15 to 30 minutes.
2. Surgical Procedure: The surgical procedure itself involves making the incision, creating the space for the implant, and carefully positioning the implant. This portion of the surgery might take around 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the surgeon’s technique and expertise.
3. Closing Incisions: After the implant is in place and positioned correctly, the surgeon will close the incisions using sutures or other closure methods. This step might take around 15 to 30 minutes.
4. Recovery and Monitoring: After the surgery is complete, there is a period of recovery and monitoring to ensure the patient is stable and awakening from anesthesia safely.
