Article Synopsis
- The study reviews existing literature on antifungal prophylaxis during penile prosthesis (PP) surgery to evaluate its effectiveness in reducing post-surgery fungal infections.
- A systematic search of databases revealed nine studies showing that fungal infections accounted for 11.1% of all PP infections, with higher risks in patients with diabetes, obesity, and in warmer climates.
- Current guidelines from the American and European urology associations do not include antifungal treatment, but combining antifungals with antibiotics could lower infection rates, suggesting that broader use of antifungal prophylaxis might be beneficial.
