Exclusion criteria included temperature &amp;gt;37.5\u00b0C, WBC &amp;gt;13,000\/\u03bcL, and appearance of any sign of sepsis. In patients with purulent drainage, culture swabs were taken and an antibiotic was chosen based on sensitivity results. Oral antibiotics were used until the local infection was completely resolved. Patients were evaluated weekly during this process.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Thirty-seven patients were retrospectively reviewed and constituted the study population. Mean age was 58.1 (range 37\u201385; SD 9.9) years. All were diabetic. Mean BMI was 31.8 (range 24\u201347; SD 5.0). PI was malleable in 33 cases and inflatable in 4 cases. Culture results (n = 19) included Staphylococcus epidermidis (42 %), pseudomonas (21%), Escherichia coli (21%), and S aureus (16%). Four of 37 patients needed the PI removed due to CT failure and onset of systemic symptoms, at a mean time-point of 75 \u00b1 1.8 days after CT commencement. In men who were cured, mean time to complete healing was 49 (range 29\u201397; SD 15.8) days. Two of 37 patients (5%) had PI removal because of persistent penile pain despite complete wound healing, at a mean time point of 128 \u00b1 2.5 days after CT commencement. All men managed conservatively resumed sexual intercourse.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n
