Abstract：
:The aim of this work is evaluate the efficacy of infection control measures with unicomponent penile implants in two ambulatory surgery units in Cairo and Jeddah. This was a retrospective study of 117 consecutive cases. A patient selection and infection control protocol was followed to implant 12 hydraulic, 53 mechanical and 52 malleable prostheses under local bupivacaine penile ring anesthesia and intravenous propofol. No infection occurred that required prosthesis removal, none required hospitalization or urinary catheterization, one crural and two septal perforations were managed intraoperatively; one case was reoperated upon for mechanical failure, two for oversizing and one for undersizing the girth. We conclude that implantation of unicomponent penile implants under triple antibiotic coverage in an ambulatory surgery setting, with rigid infection control measures appears to be effective in preventing infection.
