Genitourinary prosthesis infections are a severe complication, often requiring removal and leading to functional loss. This review covers the causes, identification, and management of these infections.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Biomaterials Science

Background:

  • Implantable prostheses, particularly penile prostheses, have seen widespread use in urology over the last 20 years.
  • While mechanical failures occur, infections represent the most critical complication, often necessitating device explantation.
  • Prosthesis infection can result in significant patient morbidity, including loss of organ function.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive review of genitourinary prosthesis infections.
  • To elucidate the pathogenesis, microbiology, diagnostic approaches, and treatment strategies for these infections.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review focusing on genitourinary prosthesis infections.
  • Synthesis of information regarding infection etiology, diagnosis, and management.

Main Results:

  • Infections are the most devastating complication of genitourinary prostheses.
  • Timely diagnosis and appropriate treatment are crucial to prevent severe outcomes.

Conclusions:

  • Understanding the multifaceted aspects of genitourinary prosthesis infections is vital for clinicians.
  • Effective management strategies are essential to mitigate the severe consequences of these infections.
