    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Penile prosthesis and artificial urinary sphincter implantation had a 2.7% infection rate, primarily caused by staphylococcal organisms within one year. Diabetes did not increase infection risk in this study.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Infectious Disease

    Background:

    • Penile prosthesis and artificial urinary sphincter implantation are common procedures.
    • Infection is a significant complication following these implantations.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To determine the infection rate after penile prosthesis or artificial urinary sphincter implantation.
    • To identify common causative organisms and risk factors for infection.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of patients who underwent penile prosthesis or artificial urinary sphincter implantation.
    • Analysis of infection rates, causative organisms, and patient demographics.

    Main Results:

    • An overall infection rate of 2.7% (15 out of 556 patients) was observed.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Staphylococcal organisms were responsible for over 50% of infections.
  • Most infections occurred within one year post-implantation, with one case presenting at 2.5 years.
  • No significant difference in infection rates was found between diabetic and non-diabetic patients.

    • Conclusions:

    • The infection rate following penile prosthesis and artificial urinary sphincter implantation is low.
    • Staphylococcus is the predominant pathogen.
    • Early detection and management are crucial, though late infections can occur.
    • Diabetes is not a significant risk factor for implant infections.
