[Comparison Criteria] Reservoir placement Using the No-Touch Technique the reservoir is placed all the way next to the bladder, starting from an incision below the penis; a method requiring higher levels of skill and experience. In patients who have had previous pelvic surgery this may not be possible, and a second small incision may be necessary.
Infra-pubic approach provides direct placement of the reservoir, which is advantageous in patients who have had previous pelvic surgery. The reservoir is the only component that the patient never sees or feels, therefore the cosmetic benefit of this positioning is minimal. However in patients who have had previous surgery this allows the entire implant to be performed through one incision.
