To explore the clinical value of ultrasound examination in evaluating the presence of ovarian torsion in female infants with inguinal ovarian hernia.
We conducted a retrospective analysis of 91 cases of ovarian hernia diagnosed by ultrasonography at our institution. Among them, 6 cases were identified as ovarian strangulation, while 85 cases were classified as non-ovarian strangulation. All cases underwent high-frequency ultrasound examination. We analyzed whether there were differences in the associated factors between the two groups and compared the disparities in the urgency of surgery between the two groups.
Significant differences were observed between the ovarian strangulation group and the non- strangulation group in terms of ovarian volume, ovarian blood flow, and the presence of incarceration. The need for emergency surgery was significantly associated with the presence of incarceration and ovarian torsion.
Ultrasound has good clinical value in diagnosing ovarian hernia and determining the presence of ovarian strangulation. It can assist clinical physicians in determining the timing of surgery for children with ovarian hernia.
探讨超声检查在评估腹股沟卵巢疝女婴卵巢扭转情况中的临床价值。
对我院经超声诊断的91例卵巢疝病例进行回顾性分析。其中，6例被确定为卵巢绞窄，85例被归类为非卵巢绞窄。所有病例均接受高频超声检查。我们分析了两组之间相关因素是否存在差异，并比较了两组手术紧迫性的差异。
卵巢绞窄组与非绞窄组在卵巢体积、卵巢血流及嵌顿情况方面存在显著差异。急诊手术的需求与嵌顿及卵巢扭转的存在显著相关。
超声在诊断卵巢疝及确定卵巢绞窄情况方面具有良好的临床价值。它可协助临床医生确定卵巢疝患儿的手术时机。
