Comparison of Testicular Volume and Blood Flow in Children Before and After Surgery for Inguinoscrotal Diseases- A Prospective Cohort Study

Introduction: Testicular diseases in children include hernia, hydrocele, undescended testis, epididymal cyst or torsion testis. Some of these like hernia and testis will have affect on the testicular volume blood flow. These are predictors for future function Manipulations during surgery can also flow to Aim: To compare undergoing inguinoscrotal both normal diseased sides, before after surgery. Materials Methods: A prospective cohort study was conducted from March 2019 December which 30 were selected Surgery Outpatient Department (OPD), Paediatrics, Gian Sagar Medical College, Rajpura, Punjab, India. For patients having disease, ultrasonography (US) colour doppler done preoperatively all cases by an experienced radiologist, using same machine settings seventh day three months postsurgery. Preoperative postoperative recorded patients. The Statistical Package Social Sciences (SPSS) software used statistically analyse data arising, p<0.05 accepted as significant. Results: Total (10 10 years age) formed total sample study. Pathology found 18 right side 12 left side. When pathology compared, it that less compared This difference significant with p-value 0.006. There a between (p-value 0.007) (p-value=0.004). increased postsurgery more evident (p<0.05) (p>0.05). increase mean seven days <0.05). But change follow-up be non-significant. Conclusion: Inguinal does not long term inguinal its effect fertility should evaluated.
