Abstract:
A retrospective study was undertaken to assess the importance of ultrasonography in the 22 patients with traumatized scrotum who were explored surgically. Ultrasonography was highly accurate, readily available, noninvasive diagnostic method. Also ultrasonography was valuable in the evaluation of the degree of injury and determination of early therapeutic modality. We believe that ultrasonography is the method of choice in the initial evaluation of traumatized scrotum.
