MODERN CAPABILITIES OF ULTRASOUND VISUALIZATION OF ABDOMINAL WALL HERNIAS

Abstract

Abdominal wall hernias are the common pathology in modern clinical practice. Clinical data sometimes make the correct diagnosis not possible what requires the timely specific and targeted ultrasound examination. Aims of research. Revealing the capabilities of ultrasound examination at the assumption of abdominal wall hernias. Materials and methods. Within four years the ultrasound examination of 88 patients was carried out who suffered from different abdominal wall hernia, with the use of standard procedure of ultrasound examination and specific tests for evaluation of the condition of hernia’s content. The ultrasound scanning procedure was performed using B-mode and Color Doppler mapping mode. The majority of patients hereafter underwent the planned or emergency surgical treatment and subsequent ultrasound dynamic control. Results. The ultrasound examination gave the opportunity to reveal hernias in all the patients examined. Standards of morphometry, conditions of successful diagnosis and criterions of differential diagnosis signs of abdominal wall hernias have been detected. Criterions of differentiation of non-complicated and complicated hernias were concretized Conclusions. Ultrasound examination is a highly informative method for search, diagnosis and differential diagnosis of abdominal wall hernias. The targeted search of specific ultrasound signs allows making a correct diagnosis what has a great value for the timing of beginning of the adequate treatment.
