Abstract

Epidemiologic studies have estimated that more than 50% of men ages 40 to 70 have some form of erectile dysfunction. Penile prosthesis implantation remains a mainstay for treatment of erectile dysfunction unresponsive to other less-invasive methods. Improvements in penile prosthesis design have extended the long-term survival of implants. As the improved design of prostheses has led to their increased mechanical survival, other complications, such as infection, have emerged as the leading causes of implant failure. This article focuses on approaches to prevention and treatment of penile prosthesis infection.

摘要

流行病学研究估计，40 岁至 70 岁的男性中，超过 50%存在某种形式的勃起功能障碍。阴茎假体植入仍然是治疗对其他非侵入性方法无反应的勃起功能障碍的主要方法。阴茎假体设计的改进延长了植入物的长期存活率。随着假体设计的改进导致其机械存活率的提高，其他并发症（如感染）已成为植入物失败的主要原因。本文重点介绍预防和治疗阴茎假体感染的方法。
