RESUMEN
INTRODUCTION: The injuries of the external genital organs in men accounts for 30-50% of the total number of injuries of genitourinary system. In half of the cases, there is a trauma of the penis. In 80% of cases, trauma of the penile or scrotal area occurs. AIM: To study the role of Doppler ultrasound in diagnosing injuries of the scrotum and penis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The analysis of Doppler ultrasound study of the scrotum and penis in 32 patients with injuries of the external genital organs was carried out. RESULTS: The analysis revealed various ultrasonographic variants of damage to the penis and scrotum. In the vast majority of cases, scrotal trauma without testicular rupture (n=15; 46%) and with testicular rupture (n=11; 33%) was seen. Penile injury was diagnosed in 6 (19%) patients. CONCLUSION: Doppler ultrasound is a gold standard for diagnosing injuries of the scrotum and penis. The mandatory ultrasound study allows to determine the indications and type of salvage surgical procedure.
