title: [Usefulness of diagnostic ultrasonography for evaluation of scrotal organs].
abstract: Scrotal sonography was performed on 172 patients treated for infertility ranging 1-10 years. The results of the sonographic examinations were compared with palpations. Pathological deviations were found in 71.5% of patients using sonography and ony 53.5% of patients examined clinically. Our study found varicocele in 55.2% of patients, spermatoceles in 6.4% of patients and pathological amount of fluid surrounding the testicles in 15.1% of patients. The results of our study show that sonography should be used for more exact and more correct findings in the examination of scrotal organs and accurate monitoring of applied treatment.
