Implantation of penile prostheses and artificial urinary sphincters have gained widespread acceptance for the treatment of refractory erectile dysfunction and incontinence, respectively. In the past 3 decades, improved device design and an increased understanding of the pathophysiology of device infections have contributed to a decrease in infection rates. However, understanding the concepts related to infection prevention and management remains critical. In this article, the authors review and discuss these concepts and provide outlines for the practicing urologists for both infection prevention and treatment.
阴茎假体植入术和人工尿道括约肌植入术分别在治疗难治性勃起功能障碍和尿失禁方面获得了广泛认可。在过去30年中，器械设计的改进以及对器械感染病理生理学认识的提高，使得感染率有所下降。然而，了解与感染预防和管理相关的概念仍然至关重要。在本文中，作者回顾并讨论了这些概念，并为执业泌尿科医生提供了感染预防和治疗的概述。
