Abstract

BACKGROUND: The use of closed-suction drains after penile implant surgery remains controversial. The use of BioPatch®, a protective disk with chlorhexidine gluconate, may reduce the incidence of drain-related infections, one of the feared complications of drains. The aim of this study is to describe a novel use of BioPatch® in penile implant surgery as well as additional techniques that may potentially minimize infection rates.

METHODS: A description of operative technique and a review of the literature will be presented. A novel approach to penile implant surgery that may reduce infection rates is described.

RESULTS: A simple technique is described for surgeons considering implementation of closed-suction drains after penile implant surgery.

CONCLUSION: Although randomized controlled studies looking at drain placement following penile implant surgery are lacking, the addition of BioPatch® and the implementation of surgical techniques as described are potentially helpful in preventing infection following this surgery.
