Many cosmetic procedures are now performed by non-medical personnel. Owing to the wide coverage of aesthetic procedures by the media, patients may be less informed of the serious complications that can be seen when impure materials are injected by less-skilled practitioners. The authors present a case of sepsis following the injection of a non-medical grade penile bulking agent. Although penile augmentation is under-reported in the literature, public interest in such procedures is increasing. The growing demand for such procedures needs to be addressed by the medical community.
现在许多美容手术由非医疗人员进行。由于媒体对美容手术的广泛报道，患者可能对由技术不熟练的从业者注射不纯材料时可能出现的严重并发症了解较少。作者介绍了一例注射非医用级阴茎填充剂后发生败血症的病例。尽管阴茎增大术在文献中的报道较少，但公众对这类手术的兴趣正在增加。医学界需要应对对这类手术日益增长的需求。
