METHOD OF DIAGNOSING IMPAIRMENT OF BLOOD FLOW OF TESTICLES IN CHILDREN WITH CRYPTORCHIDISM

摘要

FIELD: medicine.SUBSTANCE: in case of unilateral cryptorchidism measured is a linear rate index of the blood flow in the medium segment of the recurrent artery of the healthy testicle Vmax1 and testicle in the cryptorchidism condition Vmax2. In case of bilateral cryptorchidism measured is the linear rate index of the blood flow in the medium segment of the recurrent artery of the right and left testicle. As Vmax2 taken is the lower index from the two measurements of the testicle blood flow. As the index of blood flow Vmax1 taken is the lower index of the age norm, constituting for children from 0 to 12 months - 1.2 cm/sec; from 1 to 3 years - 1.5 cm/sec; from 3 to 7 years - 1.8/sec, and for children above 7 years - 2.0 cm/sec. If the difference between Vmax1 and Vmax2 is larger than 25% of Vmax1 index, impairment of haemodynamics, requiring operative treatment, is diagnosed. If the difference is in the range from 15 to 25%, dynamic US-monitoring after 3, 6 and 9 months is required.EFFECT: method makes it possible to objectify results of USE due to the clear determination of parameters of a threshold value of the blood flow index in the testicle arteries.2 cl, 3 ex
