Pros: Cons: Current evidence:• Currently, there is very limited to no direct evidence supporting the use of gold-coated surgical tools—like dilators, sizers, or retractors—in penile implant surgery or, more broadly, in urologic surgeries. • What is available in the literature mostly relates to:
Background: Why shouldn’t it be a routine practice? While nasal colonization with Staphylococcus aureus, including methicillin-resistant strains (MRSA), is a known risk factor for surgical site infections (SSI) in patients, extending routine nasal screening and decolonization protocols to the surgical team is not currently evidence-based — and comes with several drawbacks. Conclusion: References:
Despite the potential benefits, standard field surgical telescopes present several practical and clinical limitations that make them suboptimal for routine use in most penile prosthesis surgeries: References:
Concept & Rationale: A pulse oximeter measures: Is This Done? Real-time perfusion monitoring isn’t seen as critical because: Potential Pros: Potential Cons & Challenges: Conclusion:
1. Definition of Laser Cutting: Laser cutting involves the use of focused laser beams to cut or ablate materials with high precision. In medical applications, it can be used: 2. Current Uses in Penile Implant Surgery: Direct surgical use of lasers (intraoperative): Any evidence?Literature searches reveal no studies or trials showing benefits of laser dissection in penile implant surgeries. Experts typically…
Introduction:Penile prosthesis implantation is a high-stakes procedure in urology, with one of the most feared complications being device infection. To minimize infection risk, operating room protocols emphasize strict sterile technique, appropriate antibiotic prophylaxis, meticulous surgical handling, and environmental controls. Among these, the use of surgical caps or overhead coverings is a long-standing practice designed to…
