title: [Testis endothesis surgery. Results of an ambulatory clinical evaluation study].
abstract: Under out-patient conditions 13 testicular endotheses of silicone rubber were implanted in local anaesthesia. The mean age of the 11 patients was 44.6 years and minimum follow-up was one year. In all but one case the clinical course was uneventful, in this patient the prosthesis was rejected after a secondary intervention. The follow-up examination did show in all cases clinical, ultrasonographical and cosmetical good results with the 14 g variant for the adult patient. This prosthesis is recommended the further use because of low operative risk, uneventful follow-up and improved body image.
