title: [Meta-analysis: the possibility of atrophy of testicle in acute testicular appendage problems in children].
abstract: A meta-analysis of extensive statistical data of "acute scrotal" syndrome in children was made. The two databases were considered. The first consisted of 1342 observations and described the nosologic structure of "acute scrotal" syndrome in children. The second included 440 patients and showed the long-term results of conservative treatment in children with acute scrotal problems. When a mathematical analysis of initial data was carried out, the authors determined, that the possibility of atrophy of stricken gonad in conservative treatment of acute hydatid problems belonged to the segment from 0.303 till 0.684.
