Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Traditional Antibiotic Therapy
Preoperative antibiotic selection, method or preparation, draping, or technique;. the corpora, scrotum, and reservoir space will be irrigated with traditional antibiotics (rifampin, gentamycin, +/-fluconazole) immediately after the space is created in all cases. An additional scrotal irrigation with traditional antibiotics after all components are placed will be performed, as well. The patients will be followed and monitored for penile prosthesis infection as well as any other surgical complications for 1 year post operatively.
Gentamicin
Aminoglycoside antibiotic irrigation
Rifampin
Antibacterial known to inhibit DNA-dependent RNA polymerase
Irrisept only irrigation
Preoperative antibiotic selection, method or preparation, draping, or technique;. the corpora, scrotum, and reservoir space will be irrigated with Irrisept only immediately after the space is created in all cases. An additional scrotal irrigation with Irrisept only after all components are placed will be performed, as well. The patients will be followed and monitored for penile prosthesis infection as well as any other surgical complications for 1 year post operatively.
Chlorhexidine
Irrisept is a self-contained jet lavage that contains chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) as a preservative to offer broad-spectrum activity against various microorganisms in the bottled solution
