Community-Driven Survival Analysis of Penile Implant Outcomes: A 15-Year Retrospective Study of Online Forum Data

FrankTalk has always had a healthy skepticism about how well the literature reflects real implant outcomes. Many of us feel the published numbers don’t match what we read and live here on FrankTalk.

Over the years, our signatures have quietly become a unique dataset of real-world implant journeys. From 15,000 threads in FrankTalk’s Implant subforum, I systematically extracted 1,639 unique signatures and used survival analysis to turn our lived experiences into a data-driven picture of how implants really perform over time.
