Twenty\u2010two days later, the patient developed urinary retention and painful perineal swelling. Computed tomography of pelvis revealed an abscess extending from the prostate to the perineum and scrotum. Broad\u2010spectrum antibiotics were administered, followed by emergency perineal abscess drainage and percutaneous cystostomy. Residual abscesses required percutaneous drainage. The infection was cured, and the cystostomy successfully removed seven months after the onset of symptoms.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Although rare, severe infectious complications can occur following hydrogel spacer placement.
