Abstract

Intratesticular and scrotal skin temperatures were measured in 34 men undergoing scrotal or inguinal surgical procedures under general anesthesia. Scrotal temperatures were measured before and after a dry scrotal shave. Intratesticular temperature was measured under direct vision with a needle thermistor. Linear regression analysis revealed a strong correlation between intratesticular and scrotal skin temperatures. In addition, simple scrotal shaving significantly decreased scrotal skin temperature. These observations suggest that scrotal skin temperature measurements may be useful to detect elevations of intratesticular temperature and scrotal shaving may be a useful adjunct for testicular cooling.

摘要

对34名在全身麻醉下接受阴囊或腹股沟外科手术的男性测量了睾丸内温度和阴囊皮肤温度。在阴囊干剃前后测量阴囊温度。通过针式热敏电阻在直视下测量睾丸内温度。线性回归分析显示睾丸内温度与阴囊皮肤温度之间存在强相关性。此外，单纯的阴囊剃须显著降低了阴囊皮肤温度。这些观察结果表明，测量阴囊皮肤温度可能有助于检测睾丸内温度升高，而阴囊剃须可能是睾丸降温的有用辅助手段。
