I then went to Dr. Solomon to clean up the mess of the Removal surgery that Dr. Elist had performed. In Dr. Elist's removals, he mostly leaves the anchors, the mesh, the capsule created by the implant. This means, the capsule will contract, the mesh and anchor Sutures that are left from him cutting out the implant will still protrude as an hard spot or Nodule under the glans, as well as the capsule contracture and scar tissue will not allow you to regain your length unless you remove the scar tissue, mesh, suture, and deal with the capsule.

He implants a rigid device into a dynamic and flexible surrounding. The body has no way of dealing with it other than trying to encapsulate it and continue to surround it with plasma.
He knows that these anchors will fail. Most do. From going Flaccid to going Erect, day in, day out, and every other activity with a tensile and flexible tissue. Add on top of that, when he removes it, he leaves the hernia mesh, anchors, and capsule that formed to deal with the implant---which he knows will disfigure the patient. This to me, qualifies as a 'never event' which is the "kind of mistake (medical error) that should never happen" in the field of medical treatment. Never events are defined as "adverse events that are serious, largely preventable, and of concern to both the public and health care providers for the purpose of public accountability.
