Perioperative Antimicrobial Strategies in Inflatable Penile Prosthesis Surgery: Associations Between Antifungals, Oral Antibiotics, and Intravenous Antibiotic Duration, and Infection Outcomes
This large multicenter study highlights a significant association between perioperative antifungal prophylaxis and lower infection risk in inflatable penile prosthesis surgery while demonstrating the limited utility of preoperative and postoperative oral antibiotics and prolonged IV prophylaxis. These findings support evidence-based antimicrobial stewardship to optimize outcomes and minimize complications, including antibiotic resistance.
