Abstract
Introduction. The injuries of the external genital organs in men accounts for 30-50% of the total number of injuries of genitourinary system. In half of the cases, there is a trauma of the penis. In 80% of cases, trauma of the penile or scrotal area occurs.
Aim. To study the role of Doppler ultrasound in diagnosing injuries of the scrotum and penis.
Materials and methods. The analysis of Doppler ultrasound study of the scrotum and penis in 32 patients with injuries of the external genital organs was carried out.
Results. The analysis revealed various ultrasonographic variants of damage to the penis and scrotum. In the vast majority of cases, scrotal trauma without testicular rupture (n=15; 46%) and with testicular rupture (n=11; 33%) was seen. Penile injury was diagnosed in 6 (19%) patients.
Conclusion. Doppler ultrasound is a gold standard for diagnosing injuries of the scrotum and penis. The mandatory ultrasound study allows to determine the indications and type of salvage surgical procedure.
