Ultrasonography (US) is a non-invasive, non-ionizing radiation modality highly successful at diagnosing inguinal hernia. The aim of this study is to demonstrate the accuracy of ultrasound in evaluating defects of fascia in inguinal hernias and compare with surgical findings.
A total of 33 patients with a sonographic diagnosis of an inguinal hernia are included to study. After US, all patients underwent a blinded surgery and the surgical findings are compared with the US results.
The sensitivity of US was found to be 100% and 80% for indirect and direct types, respectively. The mean size of the defect was found to be 22 mm (max: 70 mm, min: 6 mm) with US; and 27 mm (max: 50 mm, min: 4 mm) at surgery. The size of defects at US and in surgery were correlated with each other (p = 0.001).
超声检查(US)是一种非侵入性、非电离辐射的方法,在诊断腹股沟疝方面非常成功。本研究旨在证明超声在评估腹股沟疝筋膜缺陷方面的准确性,并与手术结果进行比较。
共纳入 33 例经超声诊断为腹股沟疝的患者进行研究。在 US 检查后,所有患者均进行了盲法手术,并将手术结果与 US 结果进行比较。
US 对间接型和直接型腹股沟疝的敏感性分别为 100%和 80%。US 显示缺陷的平均大小为 22 毫米(最大:70 毫米,最小:6 毫米);手术时为 27 毫米(最大:50 毫米,最小:4 毫米)。US 和手术中的缺陷大小相互关联(p=0.001)。
