I am asking out of curiosity. If someone has a urethral stricture and undergoes urethroplasty and may need repeat procedures down the road, does that increase implant infection rate ?
I'm curious about this too. Are you talking about a repeat urethroplasty if the stricture recurs, or an implant revision?
Either... to see if there is any bearing.

Did you find any info on this ? I'm pretty sure I have a stricture .

To the best of my knowledge, if you have a urethroplasty and the surgery is a success then you won't have any more issues with future recurrences. So having an implant with the future revisions that may or may not come (that much) won't be an issue.
As for having penile surgery after you have an implant is a thing that doctors try to avoid for the risk of damaging the device.
The champers, where your implant cylinders and other implant components are, is isolated from your urethra. I guess there could be some scenario where a finger infection could go systemic and somehow affect an implant, but it would be very rare and not a common risk factor.
