Abstract
Irrigation with antibiotic solutions is frequently used in penile pros thesis surgery to avoid infection. We carried out a prospective study to determine the degree of absorption of gentamicin after intracaverno us irrigation in 10 patients who underwent penile implantation surgery . All obtained values were below the toxic level of 10 mu g/ml and dec reased gradually within a few hours. We concluded that highly concentr ated gentamicin solutions could be used with safety for intracavernous irrigation.
