Mp27-06 immediate Preoperative Blood Glucose and Hemoglobin A1c Levels Are Not Predictive of Post-Operative Infections in Diabetic Men Undergoing Penile Prosthesis Placement

Abstract

(92.6%) were satisfied with very good feedback (4-5 score). Also, most of them (90.8%) recommended a PPI to a friend. We didn't find any correlation between comorbidities and objective change in dimensions. CONCLUSIONS: PPI preserves penile size long term and might actually result in a small enhancement. Good counselling and objective measurement should be performed in all to improve patient overall satisfaction.

“…Osman et al 4 recently presented data contradicting the previous study's findings. In a cohort of 716 diabetic patients undergoing primary penile prosthesis implantation from 2003e2018, immediate preoperative serum blood glucose levels and HbA1C levels were recorded to determine an association between these values and infection rates.…”
