Résumé
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.
