Overview of Urologic Prosthetic Surgeries: Indications, Complications, Prevention, and Management
摘要
This chapter provides a comprehensive overview of the indications, surgical techniques, and complication management related to artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) and penile prosthesis implantation. Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in men, commonly post-prostatectomy, is a primary indication for AUS, with the device serving as the gold standard treatment. Detailed attention is given to preoperative assessment, intraoperative considerations, and the management of complications including urethral injury, erosion, and device malfunction. Similarly, penile prosthesis implantation is discussed as a definitive treatment for erectile dysfunction, with indications, surgical approaches, and management of intra- and postoperative complications outlined. The chapter highlights strategies for minimizing complications and optimizing patient outcomes in prosthetic urologic surgery.
