PURPOSE
The aim of this study was to determine the utility of scrotal sonography in the evaluation of patients with scrotal pain or swelling following inguinal hernia repair.
METHODS
From our database, we identified patients who were referred for sonographic evaluation because of persistent scrotal pain or swelling after inguinal hernia repair between July 1994 and February 1996. Sonograms and medical charts were reviewed retrospectively.
RESULTS
Eight patients were included in this study. Doppler sonography demonstrated evidence of testicular infarction in 2 patients and absence of intratesticular diastolic flow in 1 patient. Five patients had postoperative fluid collections with sonographically normal testes.
CONCLUSIONS
Scrotal sonography can diagnose testicular infarction following hernia repair and distinguish postoperative fluid collections from recurrent hernias.
目的
本研究的目的是确定阴囊超声检查在评估腹股沟疝修补术后阴囊疼痛或肿胀患者中的作用。
方法
从我们的数据库中，我们识别出1994年7月至1996年2月期间因腹股沟疝修补术后持续阴囊疼痛或肿胀而被转诊进行超声检查评估的患者。对超声图像和病历进行回顾性分析。
结果
本研究纳入了8例患者。多普勒超声检查显示2例患者有睾丸梗死的证据，1例患者睾丸内舒张期血流缺失。5例患者术后有液体积聚，睾丸超声检查正常。
结论
阴囊超声检查可诊断疝修补术后的睾丸梗死，并将术后液体积聚与复发性疝区分开来。
