Summary

Here, investigators aimed to evaluate the effect of inguinal operations performed with a modified Ferguson technique upon testicular volume and blood flow. This study involved 23 patients receiving surgery for inguinal hernia, hydrocele, and cord cyst. The color Doppler ultrasound (CDUS) was used to assess testicular volume and blood flow before and after a modified Ferguson technique surgery. The pre- and postoperative testicular volume and blood flow were compared with the contralateral testes. Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software was used to statistically analyze the data arising; the Mann-Whitney U test and Friedman test were used to compare samples, and P \< 0.05 was accepted as statistically significant.

Conditions

  • Inguinal Hernia Repair

Interventions

DEVICE

Color Doppler Ultrasound

Radiological evaluation was performed by a single radiologist using CDUS for operated side testis of each patient preoperatively and on days 7 and 30 post-surgery. Longitudinal, anteroposterior, and transverse diameters of the testis were measured, and the testicular volume was calculated automatically using the CDUS device (volume = 0.523 × D1 × D2 × D3, where D1, D2, and D3 were the maximal longitudinal, anteroposterior, and transverse diameters defined by CDUS) for both testicles in each patient . Peak systolic velocity (PSV) was calculated using the CDUS system (in cm3/s) for both testicles in each patient.

DEVICE

Color Doppler Ultrasound

Radiological evaluation was performed by a single radiologist using CDUS for nonoperated side testis of each patient preoperatively and on days 7 and 30 post-surgery. Longitudinal, anteroposterior, and transverse diameters of the testis were measured, and the testicular volume was calculated automatically using the CDUS device (volume = 0.523 × D1 × D2 × D3, where D1, D2, and D3 were the maximal longitudinal, anteroposterior, and transverse diameters defined by CDUS) for both testicles in each patient . Peak systolic velocity (PSV) was calculated using the CDUS system (in cm3/s) for both testicles in each patient.
