Prosthetic urology can substantially enhance the quality of life for patients. However, it is not without challenges. Infections of penile prostheses and artificial urinary sphincters are often difficult to diagnose, manage, and treat. Over time, device improvements, refined surgical methods, better understanding of microbiology, and biofilms in combination with higher sterility standards and protocols, have significantly reduced the rates of infection. Here, the authors offer a comprehensive overview of prosthetic urologic infections and their management in the current era.
假体泌尿科可以极大地提高患者的生活质量。然而，它并非没有挑战。阴茎假体和人工尿道括约肌感染通常难以诊断、管理和治疗。随着时间的推移，设备改进、改良的手术方法、对微生物学和生物膜的更好理解，再加上更高的无菌标准和方案，大大降低了感染率。在这里，作者全面概述了当前时代假体泌尿科感染及其管理。
