We have found that the blanket philosophy of emergency scrotal exploration in all cases of acute scrotal swelling in boys results in an unacceptably large number of unnecessary explorations. The use of specific aspects of the clinical examination, in conjunction with the radioisotope testicular scan in selected instances, has guided our management of 150 consecutive boys presenting with acute scrotal symptoms.
我们发现,对所有男孩急性阴囊肿胀病例一概采用急诊阴囊探查的做法,会导致大量不必要的探查,其数量之多令人难以接受。结合特定的临床检查方面,并在某些情况下辅以放射性核素睾丸扫描,指导了我们对连续150例出现急性阴囊症状男孩的治疗。
