Abstract
INTRODUCTION:
Penile prosthesis infections remain challenging despite advancements in surgical technique, device improvements, and adoption of antibiotic prophylaxis guidelines.
AIM:
To investigate penile prosthesis infection microbiology to consider which changes in practice could decrease infection rates, to evaluate current antibiotic prophylaxis guidelines, and to develop a proposed algorithm for penile prosthesis infections.
METHODS:
This retrospective institutional review board-exempt multi-institutional study from 25 centers reviewed intraoperative cultures obtained at explantation or Mulcahy salvage of infected three-piece inflatable penile prostheses (IPPs). Antibiotic usage was recorded at implantation, admission for infection, and explantation or salvage surgery. Cultures were obtained from purulent material in the implant space and from the biofilm on the device.

TANGERINE wrote:I was looking through literature and came across a paper written in March 2017 which was a study from 26 centers. This is an important list, since it represents "the club" of experts in penile implant surgery.

Many of the usual franktalk surgeons are on the list : (Eid/perito/garber/Ralph/).

quoted below is the list and the abstract ofrom the paper:

That sucks, bro. I hope you can get some answers. FWIW, I'm six months out with my Perito implant and have had none of the issues described above. I also don't hear about many patients of Eid, Hakky, Clavell, or Karpman having many issues, either. That seems like the A-list at this point. I know Kramer is considered elite, and maybe he is, but most of the stuff I've read from his implantees has been negative.
