About
Dr. V. Vasylieva is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on prosthetic urology, with a particular focus on the management and salvage of infected penile prostheses—a challenging and high-stakes area within reconstructive surgery. Her major contribution to the field is the development and preliminary evaluation of the “IrriSalvage” protocol, a novel salvage technique for infected inflatable penile prostheses that utilizes only Irrisept® (0.05% chlorhexidine gluconate) for irrigation. This approach aims to simplify the traditional, multi-agent salvage procedure while maintaining high success rates. In her pivotal 2024 pilot study, Dr. Vasylieva demonstrated that this streamlined method could achieve infection-free outcomes comparable to established protocols, offering a potentially safer, less costly, and more accessible option for patients facing device infection. While her work in this niche is still accumulating citations, the study represents a significant step toward standardizing and improving salvage procedures. Dr. Vasylieva’s research is directly impactful for practicing urologists and their patients, addressing a critical need for effective, evidence-based strategies to preserve prosthetic devices and improve quality of life.
