Concerns exist regarding a possible link between the presence of silicone implants and the development of systemic disease. A retrospective review was carried out to determine whether or not a pattern of diseases could be found after the implantation of a testicular prosthesis. A specific pattern of diseases did not emerge in a group of 34 men harboring a scrotal silicone gel implant for a mean period of over five years. The findings, with a limited population and period of follow-up, are not conclusive but provide basis for reassurance to men about the health implications of their implants.
人们担心硅胶植入物的存在与全身性疾病的发展之间可能存在联系。我们进行了一项回顾性研究，以确定植入睾丸假体后是否能发现疾病模式。在一组平均植入阴囊硅胶凝胶假体超过五年的34名男性中，并未出现特定的疾病模式。由于研究人群和随访时间有限，这些发现尚无定论，但为男性了解其植入物对健康的影响提供了安心的依据。
