I\'m typing this on a crap netbook in a hotel room, so can\'t be bothered to find the links for you. On Tuesday I\'ll be back at home and will send you the links to the blogs if you can\'t find them and expand more on my scaffold surgery.
Thank you,
I\'ll be waiting for the return.
Stay well !!!
The reason I don\'t recommend the scaffold is because it tends to yield either a very modest gain or nothing at all. In Jan 2009 I and Mikehok flew to Belgrade to meet with Dr Perovic. We were impressed with what he had to say and the results he published in the European Journal of
Urology suggested an average
Girth gain of about 1\". We reported our findings back to the now defunct MNS forum. This garnered interest from other members. In the end I think about 8 guys ended up going to Belgrade and no one gained more than 1/2\", with 3 of us gaining nothing at all.
Unfortunately the problems didn\'t end with disappointing gains. The surgery to implant the scaffold caused for half of us to need to further reconstructive surgery. Mikehok also experienced some kind of reaction to the scaffold and had to have infectious fluid drained from his penis. Basically it seems to me that Perovic was a bit of a charlatan. He was certainly an innovator in the field of
Urology, but I think many of his claims were vastly exaggerated. I get the impression he was more interested in self promotion and creating some sort of legacy more than anything else. He was seemingly obsessed with publishing papers and holding seminars. But he seemed to abandon \"new\" procedures pretty quickly, which suggests he was getting pretty bad results.
I\'d stay clear of Perovic team if I were you. They claim to be world leaders in sex change surgeries, yet having researched them very few in the trans gender community seem to have had surgery with them. It\'s the same with their Peyronies and implant surgeries. Their website makes them out to be surgical wizards, yet it\'s actually pretty hard to find much evidence of their work outside of penis enlargements and in that department their results are inconsistent to say the least.
