title: Measurement of testicular volume by ultrasonography.
abstract: Twenty-five patients with scrotal hernia and hydrocele were studied. The testicular sizes of the patients were measured by using ultrasonography and the sliding caliper was used for calculations during surgery. The actual testicular volumes and those obtained by ultrasonography were not statistically different (p > 0.05). It is suggested that ultrasonography may be an alternative to orchidometers.
