The purpose of this study is to determine if an additional 6 days of oral antibiotics decreases the risk of penile prosthesis infection after implantation.
Erectile dysfunction is a common problem and the incidence increases with age. Penile prosthesis placement for medication refractory erectile dysfunction is well established with high success rates. However, infection remains a dreaded complication with significant patient morbidity requiring device explant. Device innovations such as antibiotic coating and adaptations in technique have led to device infection rate reduction to \~1-3% in the hands of high volume implanters in modern series. The study team will perform a non-inferiority trial of post-operative antibiotic prophylaxis for IPP procedures with InhibiZonetm coated AMS 700 devices to confirm the hypothesis that a prolonged postoperative antibiotic regimen does not influence infection-related outcomes in de-novo IPP placement. The study team will determine potential risk factors for prosthetic infections and which patients would benefit from an extended post-operative oral antibiotic course of 6 days along with other objectives.

Additional 6 days of oral antibiotics after Penile prothesis placement does not decrease the risk of device infection leading to surgical intervention
From day of surgery through 1 year we are hoping to show that additional 6 days of oral antibiotics do not decrease the risk of penile prosthesis infection requiring surgical intervention for device removal.
Time frame: 12 months
