INTRASCROTAL COMPARTMENT SYNDROME IN THE PATHOGENESIS OF ACUTE EPIDIDYMITIS
The purpose of the study was to examine progression of epididymal blood flow`s disturbances in acute epididymitis. Ultrasonography of epididymal vessels was made to evaluate hemodynamic in 22 patients with acute epididymitis. The quantitative characteristics of blood flow in the epididymal arteries were studied by Doppler spectral study. The peak systolic, end-diastolic blood flow velocities were determined, the resistive index was calculated. Intrascrotal pressure was determined during surgery. As a result of carried out research existence of basic differences regional hemodynamics in acute epididymitis with intrascrotal hypertension is proved.
