Background: Penile prosthesis implantation carries a high risk of infection, and rigorous infection control measures are critical to reducing complications. Pros: Cons: Current evidence: Related (but indirect) evidence areas: Conclusion: References:

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.

Background: Why Telescope Use Is Not Optimal in Routine Settings? 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:
