Registration Number
NCT06489431
Lead Sponsor
Rush University Medical Center
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess whether intraoperative irrigation with Irrisept is not inferior to irrigation with multiple antibiotics during placement of a first time inflatable penile prosthesis device.

Detailed Description

To conduct a prospective, randomized, controlled trial of all virgin penile prosthesis implantations with the goal of assessing Irrisept's candidacy as an alternative to traditional antibiotic irrigation (Rifampin, Gentamicin for all patients, with the addition of Amphotericin B if patient has a history of diabetics) during penile prosthesis surgery. The investigators believe that Irrisept provides adequate antibacterial and antifungal coverage to serve as an alternative to traditional antibiotic therapy. Additionally, the investigators believe a cost analysis would support the use of Irrisept in the event that non-inferiority is demonstrated.

GroupInterventionDescription
Irrisept only irrigationChlorhexidinePreoperative antibiotic selection, method or preparation, draping, or technique;. the corpora, scrotum, and reservoir space will be irrigated with Irrisept only immediately after the space is created in all cases. An additional scrotal irrigation with Irrisept only after all components are placed will be performed, as well. The patients will be followed and monitored for penile prosthesis infection as well as any other surgical complications for 1 year post operatively.
Traditional Antibiotic TherapyGentamicinPreoperative antibiotic selection, method or preparation, draping, or technique;. the corpora, scrotum, and reservoir space will be irrigated with traditional antibiotics (rifampin, gentamycin, +/-fluconazole) immediately after the space is created in all cases. An additional scrotal irrigation with traditional antibiotics after all components are placed will be performed, as well. The patients will be followed and monitored for penile prosthesis infection as well as any other surgical complications for 1 year post operatively.
