“…The risk of periprosthetic infection after implantation in diabetic men ranges from 3.2-15% (54). The relationship between glycemic control and risk of infection was not confirmed in a prospective trial (54), although the study may have been underpowered.…”

“…5 A multicenter study published in 2000 reports a greater than 90% 5-y and greater than 70% 10-y survival with more than 90% of patients satisfied with the function of their prosthesis and willing to undergo implantation of a penile prosthesis subsequently. 6 This study is mirrored by other single and multi-institutional studies of various penile implants. 7 -9 Despite long-term use and laudable successes, challenges and complications, as well as morbidity may be associated with some penile prosthesis implantation.…”

Penile prosthetics have developed over the past three decades into an effective treatment for erectile dysfunction with high reliability and patient satisfaction rates. The morbidity of these devices is principally limited to mechanical malfunction and the most feared complication of prostheses infection.Most penile prosthesis infections are caused by gram positive skin contaminations such as Staphylococci. The signs and symptoms of these infections may be difficult to identify in early stages, but late infections may lead to tissue loss and poor prognosis for prosthesis replacement.Treatment of penile prosthesis infections is best carried out with a salvage technique including aggressive lalavage and prosthesis replacement. The success of this technique is salvage of prosthesis and return to function in more than 80% of cases.While penile prosthesis infection continues to be a dreaded complication, early diagnosis and aggressive surgical treatment may salvage the majority of these implants.
