The results of scrotal sonography performed in a recent one-year period (1987) were retrospectively reviewed to assess the role of sonography in the management of patients with extratesticular abnormalities. The study included 226 examinations performed in 204 men. In extratesticular abnormalities, scrotal sonography confirms the clinical impression of the referring physicians, monitors the progress of conservative treatment, and guides the surgical approach. Patients with sonographically classic cystic extratesticular abnormalities rarely come to surgery. Those with complicated cystic abnormalities are usually followed clinically but have a higher incidence of surgery. Those with solid-appearing echogenic abnormalities usually have surgical removal.
回顾性分析了最近一年（1987年）进行的阴囊超声检查结果，以评估超声检查在睾丸外异常患者管理中的作用。该研究包括对204名男性进行的226次检查。在睾丸外异常中，阴囊超声检查可证实转诊医生的临床印象，监测保守治疗的进展，并指导手术方法。超声检查显示典型囊性睾丸外异常的患者很少接受手术。那些患有复杂囊性异常的患者通常在临床上进行随访，但手术发生率较高。那些表现为实性回声异常的患者通常进行手术切除。
