Prompt diagnosis of 'acute groin' conditions in infants.
Urgent sonographic examination of the groin was performed in 58 patients under the age of two years. Accurate diagnosis was done in conditions such as: incarcerated inguinal hernia, twisted undescended testis, incarcerated ovary in inguinal hernia and others. Ultrasonography facilitated decision-making and differentiation between surgical and non-surgical conditions.
