BackTable Urology
Ep. 286 Antibiotic Stewardship in Reconstructive Urology with Dr. Joshua Sterling

You know, I think that the disease process is rare enough that I'm not sure that, you know, we talked about doing a trial when I was at the University of Washington and we can never figure out how to how to quite to get it done.

But.

BackTable Urology

anecdotally sure makes the wound look a lot better and smell a little bit better.

And we don't have a ton of, or I haven't had a ton of reinfections after secondary closure.

BackTable Urology
Ep. 286 Antibiotic Stewardship in Reconstructive Urology with Dr. Joshua Sterling

So I've been, been happy with that too.

BackTable Urology
Ep. 286 Antibiotic Stewardship in Reconstructive Urology with Dr. Joshua Sterling

Yeah.

So that's another thing we talked about as like ways that we might use chlorhexidine irrigation for some sort of four days trial.

We talked about it for wet to dry dressing as well.

The tough part is, at least when we looked at it, the Iricept bottle, we didn't know what to do with it.

BackTable Urology

You know, you like do a wet to dry and there's no like there's no cap.

BackTable Urology
Ep. 286 Antibiotic Stewardship in Reconstructive Urology with Dr. Joshua Sterling

Right.

BackTable Urology
Ep. 286 Antibiotic Stewardship in Reconstructive Urology with Dr. Joshua Sterling

And we didn't know what to do with like all the excess.

BackTable Urology
Ep. 286 Antibiotic Stewardship in Reconstructive Urology with Dr. Joshua Sterling

And it felt, you know, not right to waste it.

BackTable Urology

And, you know, I've always used Dakin's when I feel like I need something or Mathenide if it's a pseudomonal infection.

BackTable Urology
Ep. 286 Antibiotic Stewardship in Reconstructive Urology with Dr. Joshua Sterling

But but pretty much those two things I've never tried try to intercept.

BackTable Urology
Ep. 286 Antibiotic Stewardship in Reconstructive Urology with Dr. Joshua Sterling

But maybe maybe it's the next thing.

BackTable Urology
Ep. 286 Antibiotic Stewardship in Reconstructive Urology with Dr. Joshua Sterling

I've had a little bit of success with phrasing it as in no other situation would you treat cellulitis with excision.

BackTable Urology
Ep. 286 Antibiotic Stewardship in Reconstructive Urology with Dr. Joshua Sterling

Or at least I really harp on you only excise the necrotic stuff and then the cellulitis you try to salvage with antibiotics.

BackTable Urology
Ep. 286 Antibiotic Stewardship in Reconstructive Urology with Dr. Joshua Sterling
