Silicone breast implantation is entering its fourth decade. Our ability to monitor the integrity of "old" prostheses is questioned. Clinical and mammographic examinations are reliable indicators of implant rupture only if there has been gel migration away from the implant pocket. Ultrasonography is presented as a reliable, sensitive method of evaluation of implant integrity. It should be considered the definitive study of prosthesis integrity. When sonography is added to mammographic and clinical examination, the preoperative evaluation of symptomatic augmented breasts is complete. Ultrasonography may be considered with mammography in the routine breast examination of all previously augmented patients.
硅胶乳房植入术已进入第四个十年。我们监测“旧”假体完整性的能力受到质疑。只有当凝胶从植入腔移位时，临床和乳腺X线检查才是植入物破裂的可靠指标。超声检查是一种评估植入物完整性的可靠、敏感方法。它应被视为假体完整性的决定性检查。当超声检查与乳腺X线和临床检查相结合时，对有症状的隆乳术前评估就完整了。在对所有既往隆乳患者进行常规乳房检查时，可将超声检查与乳腺X线检查结合使用。
