Patient underwent implanted penile prosthesis placement.He experienced cellulitis within 15 days and was hospitalized for iv antibiotic therapy.The next month, the ipp was explanted and a new device placed.A pinpoint hole was found along his original incision during this procedure.No purulent drainage was found, so the wound was thoroughly washed out and a new ipp placed.One month later, the patient had to return to surgery for continued infective state and the ipp was removed.Again, no purulent drainage was found but the pinpoint hole in the incision line was still present.The ipp was removed and wash out was done again.A 3rd ipp was placed.He was sent home on antibiotics after each intervention.Patient has not returned to facility since this time.Tissue glue was used all three times to close the skin.
