Abstract

Over the past few years, three new devices have been made available to implant surgeons. These devices are all paired intracorporeal implants that attempt to combine the esthetic qualities of the multicomponent inflatable device with the ease of surgical implantation of the malleable device. Indications as well as technical considerations of penile implant surgery are discussed.

Managing swabs in the operating theatre: a new method.

The swab count has traditionally used a swab rack. A new alternative 'bag' method involves placing used swabs in batches of five into plastic bags which are sealed and stored in a bin. A randomized prospective study was carried out to compare these two methods. Twenty consecutive ear, nose and throat cases were randomized to rack or bag collection. Swab-related activities were divided into three categories and analysed by formal time-and-motion criteria. Blood contamination of operating theatre and circulating personnel was recorded. The time involved in all three swab-related activities was significantly less using the bag technique. There was no theatre blood contamination using this method, but significant contamination occurred using the rack. Circulating theatre personnel were minimally contaminated in two cases using the bag method but were grossly contaminated in all ten cases using the rack method. The bag technique is therefore safe and time efficient.
