Diabetes mellitus (DM) is the most common indication for insertion of a penile prosthesis and is a risk factor for infection of such prostheses.
Two patients presented with infected prostheses following unusual trivial penile trauma. Both patients underwent exploration and removal of the prostheses with uneventful recovery.
Appropriate sizing of the prosthesis should be taken into account to ensure good concealment and avoid easy exposure of the penis to unexpected trauma. Use of the newly designed antibiotic-coated prostheses appears preferable. As soon as signs of prosthesis infection appeared, extrusion of the device should be expedited.
糖尿病(DM)是阴茎假体植入最常见的指征,也是此类假体感染的危险因素。
两名患者在阴茎受到不寻常的轻微创伤后出现假体感染。两名患者均接受了探查并取出假体,恢复过程顺利。
应考虑假体的合适尺寸,以确保良好的隐匿性并避免阴茎轻易暴露于意外创伤。使用新设计的抗生素涂层假体似乎更可取。一旦出现假体感染迹象,应尽快取出假体。
