Surgery Using Foreign Bodies

Chi-Fang ChenTaiwan Speaker Antibiotic prophylaxis for surgery using foreign bodiesWhile existing guidelines offer important frameworks for antibiotic prophylaxis in AUS and penile prosthesis surgeries, they are insufficiently comprehensive and sometimes inconsistent, particularly regarding coverage of all relevant pathogens, duration of antibiotic use, and tailoring to patient risk profiles. This underscores the need for further high-quality research to refine prophylaxis protocols and improve infection prevention outcomes in these prosthetic surgeries.
