Comparison and analysis of the clinical value of full automatic ultrasonic volume auto-scan and traditional ultrasound in the diagnosis of external hernia

Abstract

Objective To compare and analyze the clinical value of Ultrasonic Volume Auto-scan (UVAS) and traditional ultrasound in the diagnosis of abdominal external hernia, so as to provide evidence for the diagnosis and prognosis of abdominal hernia. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 120 patients who was considered the diagnosis of abdominal hernia patients in Maternal and Child Health Hospital of Shiyan from January 2015 to July 2016. UVAS and conventional ultrasonography were performed, respectively. The parts of the three-dimensional structure, retraction path, specific location, hernia sac and hernia contents were analyzed to determine the type of the hernia. Preoperative and postoperative diagnosis results of the two examination methods were compared and analyzed. Results Compared with traditional ultrasound, UVAS had advantages in diagnosing and typing abdominal external hernia, especially for abdominal wall incisional hernia and irreducible inguinal hernia, because it could display coronal images of tissues. Conclusion UVAS provides three-dimensional images for clinical workers to diagnose abdominal external hernia. Compared with traditional ultrasound examination, it has better clinical value and is worthy of further promotion. Key words: Ultrasonic volume auto-scan; Traditional ultrasound; External hernia
