The authors caution growing use of intraoperative 0.05% chlorhexidine in hydrophilic penile prosthesis surgery may be misguided, noting signals of higher infection risk & arguing even small increases in infection outweigh any convenience/cost savings.

In a 14‑institution study of 2,150 cases, intraoperative 0.05% chlorhexidine gluconate use with hydrophilic inflatable penile prostheses was linked to higher infection rates (4.6% vs 2.1%) suggesting caution until further prospective data are available

This article finds that perioperative antifungal prophylaxis significantly lowers infection risk in inflatable penile prosthesis surgery, while prolonged IV antibiotics and postoperative oral antibiotics offer no added benefit.

👏 Thanks to @SamuelJIvan for key leg-work + #PUMP collaborators. Proud of our fellowship! See you at #GURS 2026 Mexico 🇲🇽!
Take-home: Antifungal prophylaxis matters. Oral antibiotics and prolonged IV demonstrated limited utility.
Stewardship is key to optimizing outcomes and reducing resistance. https://t.co/SMFTUkFV71
🚨 New PUMP study analyzed >5,200 IPP cases across 16 sites to study antimicrobial prophylaxis. What actually lowers infection risk? What doesn’t? Let’s break it down ⬇️
Hear from the author! Thank you Dr. Chawared for discussing, "Perioperative Antimicrobial Strategies in IPP Surgery: Associations Between Antifungals, Oral Antibiotics, and IV Antibiotic Duration, and Infection Outcomes." #TheVoiceofUrology
