summary

The value of ultrasonographic investigations of the contents of the scrotum and inguinal canal was estimated in the diagnosis of testicular tumours. USG was done in 122 cases searching for testicular tumours1. The USG results was verified intraoperatively in 82 cases. It is concluded that the presence of areas of dif­ferent echogenicity is an indication to surgical exposure of the testicle without incision of its peduncle sheath.
