biostudies-literatureUnknown33(2)Tuncer AAOBJECTIVE:To evaluate the effect of inguinal operations performed with a modified Ferguson technique upon testicular volume and blood flow. METHODS:This study involved 23 children receiving surgery for inguinal hernia, hydrocele, and cord cyst. This was a prospective study performed between April 2016 and June 2016 in a medical faculty pediatric surgery unit. 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 post operative testicular volume and blood flow were compared with the contralateral testes. 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 significaPakistan journal of medical sciences363-368https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC5432705biostudies-literatureA comparison of preoperative and postoperative testicular volume and blood flow in patients with inguinal hernia, hydrocele, and cord cyst: A prospective cohort study.PMC5432705Acar MBTuncer AAPeker TCetinkursun SEmbleton DBfalseA comparison of preoperative and postoperative testicular volume and blood flow in patients with inguinal hernia, hydrocele, and cord cyst: A prospective cohort study.OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the effect of inguinal operations performed with a modified Ferguson technique upon testicular volume and blood flow.
