简要总结
Patients scheduled to undergo laparoscopic preperitoneal or open inguinal hernia repair will be evaluated by means of scrotal/testicular ecocolordoppler ultrasound investigation before and after surgery in order to rule out the potential impact of the surgical procedure on testicular arterial and venous blood flow
详细描述
Patients scheduled to undergo laparoscopic preperitoneal or open inguinal hernia repair will be evaluated by means of scrotal/testicular ecocolordoppler ultrasound investigation before and after surgery in order to rule out the potential impact of the surgical procedure on testicular arterial and venous blood flow
Ecocolordoppler will evaluate:
- testicular arterial flow (Peak Systolic Velocity Testicular Artery - End-Diastolic Velocity Testicular Artery - Resistive Index testicular Artery)
- venous impaired outflow using varicocele classifications (DUBIN - scale 1-3; HIRSCH scale 1-5)
- testicular volume
