VIDEO GUIDE
Pre operative penile prosthesis preparation ensures surgical safety through comprehensive medical evaluation and infection prevention. Patients complete blood tests, urine culture (to exclude infections), ECG with cardiology assessment, and chest X-ray for complete clinical picture. Seven days prior: daily genital washes (3-4 minutes with neutral soap up to navel) without cutting hair (clipping done in pre-op room); fast from midnight pre-surgery, evening antibiotic (ciprofloxacin 500 mg) .
Pre operative penile prosthesis blood panel screens for:
  • CBC: Anemia, infection markers (WBC >12k = delay surgery)
  • Coagulation: PT/PTT normalizes anticoagulation if needed
  • Renal: Creatinine <1.8 mg/dl ensures antibiotic clearance
  • Liver: Normal function for anesthesia metabolism
  • HbA1c: <8% diabetic control mandatory
Pre operative penile prosthesis urine culture proves critical: >10³ CFU/ml delays surgery 2 weeks post-treatment. Asymptomatic bacteriuria (20% ED patients) causes 80% implant infections. Clean-catch technique mandatory; first morning void preferred. Nitrite-negative + leukocyte esterase-negative screens 95% cases .
Pre operative penile prosthesis genital hygiene protocol reduces skin bacterial load >90%:
  • Days 7-2: Neutral soap (pH 5.5-6.5) 3-4 min washes, rinse thoroughly
  • No home hair removal: Razors cause micro-cuts (infection vector)
  • Day 1: Chlorhexidine 4% shower full body
  • Pre-op room: Electric clippers (no blades), iodine scrub
Pre operative penile prosthesis cardiac clearance essential: >70% candidates have cardiovascular comorbidity. ECG screens for ischemia/arrhythmia; stress test if moderate-high risk (ACS score). Beta-blockers continued; statins held 24h. Chest X-ray excludes active pulmonary infection/malignancy .
Pre operative penile prosthesis antibiotic prophylaxis timeline:
  • Day -7: Ciprofloxacin 500mg evening (enteric coverage)
  • Day -1: Repeat ciprofloxacin 500mg bedtime
  • Intra-op: IV cefazolin 2g + gentamicin 5mg/kg 60min pre-incision
  • Post-op: 24h IV + 5-day oral continuation
Pre operative penile prosthesis fasting protocol: clear liquids until 2h pre-op, NPO solids after midnight. Reduces aspiration risk <0.1%. Anti-emetics (ondansetron 4mg IV) routine. Informed consent reviewed final 24h covering <1% infection, 2-3% mechanical failure at 10 years, length preservation with cycling compliance .
Pre operative penile prosthesis patient counseling addresses expectations:
  • Length: Preserved/occasionally gained with proper cycling
  • Sensation: Identical glans sensitivity, preserved orgasm/ejaculation
  • Spontaneity: 15-second pump activation vs natural erection
  • Durability: 95% functional at 10 years high-volume centers
Pre operative penile prosthesis logistical preparation: clinic arrival 90 minutes early, loose clothing (no underwear), companion required first 24h, WhatsApp surgeon contact established. Home prep includes bed rest area setup, ice packs, paracetamol/ibuprofen stocked .
Pre operative penile prosthesis infection risk stratification:
  • Low risk: Negative urine culture, HbA1c <7%, BMI <35
  • Moderate: Diabetes controlled, prior UTIs treated
  • High: Chronic immunosuppression, BMI >40, spinal cord injury
Extended antibiotics + irrigation protocols for moderate-high risk
  • re operative penile prosthesis checklist completion day -7:
  • Labs drawn, urine collected
  • Antibiotic prescription filled
  • Hygiene education with printed instructions
  • Cardiac clearance obtained
  • Consent forms signed/scanned
Pre operative penile prosthesis preparation transforms elective surgery safety profile: infection rates <1% vs 3-5% inadequate prep. High-volume centers mandate protocol compliance, achieving outcomes rivaling cardiac/joint arthroplasty standards. Patient education ensures adherence, minimizing cancellations (5% rate) .
Compliance with pre operative penile prosthesis protocol predicts 98% complication-free surgery. Urine culture remains single most important test; positive results delay 15% cases but prevent 80% infections. Structured preparation yields reliable functional restoration .
