Özet
Objectives: Testicular complications after inguinal hernia (IH) operations can be overlooked because they are difficult to diagnose, but usually have a long-term effect. This study evaluates the effects of IH on preoperative and postoperative testicular elasticity and vascularity in children with unilateral hernias, examined using the superb microvascular imaging (SMI) and shear wave elastography (SWE) modalities. Methods: Forty-four male children with unilateral indirect IHs were included. Quantitative SMI and SWE examinations of the testicles were performed on the herniated and intact sides, both preoperatively and at 1, 3, and 6 months postoperatively. The SMI and SWE values of the testicles were compared between the herniated and intact sides, as well as with the opposite testicle. Results: Preoperative vascular index (VI) values were lower on the herniated side than on the intact side. Furthermore, preoperative kPa and m/s values were higher on the herniated side than on the intact side. In follow-up examinations performed at 6 months postoperatively, there was no equalization of kPa or m/s values, although VI values were equalized on both sides. Conclusions: Testicular vascularization secondary to mechanical compression in testicles on the herniated side increased significantly in the postoperative period, and reached a level similar to that of the contralateral side. Mean SWE values decreased in testicles on the herniated side, but were not equal with those of contralateral testicles. Preoperative and postoperative evaluation of testicles using SMI and SWE is important for detecting possible advanced testicular complications in children with IH.
