About
Dr. Robert C. Griggs is a leading urologist whose research centers on penile prosthesis surgery, infection management, and surgical salvage techniques for prosthetic devices. His most notable contribution is the development of the "IrriSalvage" protocol, a novel approach to infected penile prosthesis salvage using Irrisept® (chlorhexidine gluconate 0.05%). This pilot study, published in 2024, has already garnered 2 citations, signaling early impact in the field. Dr. Griggs builds upon the foundational work of Mulcahy and Gross, aiming to improve infection-free rates—currently exceeding 90% in multi-center studies—and increase malleable prosthesis retention rates, which approach 70%. His work addresses a critical challenge in prosthetic urology: salvaging infected devices while minimizing patient morbidity and explantation. By refining irrigation protocols and surgical techniques, Dr. Griggs contributes to higher success rates and better outcomes for patients facing prosthetic infections. His research is particularly relevant for urologic surgeons and residents specializing in sexual medicine and reconstructive surgery, offering evidence-based strategies to preserve penile prostheses and enhance quality of life. As his pilot study gains traction, Dr. Griggs is poised to become a key figure in advancing infection control and salvage methodologies in prosthetic urology.
