Overview

Experiment evaluates how operating room personnel density influences microbial colonization in penile implant surgeries, suggesting minimal effect.

Key Points

  • This study aims to determine whether the density of operating room personnel affects microbial colonization of inflatable penile prostheses during surgery.
  • Conducted an ex vivo experimental study using Rigicon® Infla10X IPP without antibiotic coating.
  • Exposed the device to four different operating room personnel densities for 45 minutes.
  • Collected swab samples from different parts of the IPP and analyzed using DNA extraction, 16S rRNA sequencing, and qPCR.
  • Included positive control samples of Escherichia coli to validate method.
  • No microbial DNA was detected in any of the swabbed IPP samples across all personnel density groups.
  • Consistent negative results were observed in personnel densities of 4, 8, 16, and 32.
  • Positive controls amplified successfully, confirming the reliability of the methodology.
