Abstract

Positive-contrast peritoneography is a reasonably safe and quite accurate method of identifying patent vaginal processes, hernias, communicating hydroceles, and undescended testes. It is especially valuable in the evaluation of an infant or child who appears to have a unilateral hernia or hydrocele or who has cryptorchidism. The examination is simple to perform and interpret and can also be used to evaluate diaphragmatic abnormalities such as hernias and eventrations, the size and shape of the liver and spleen, and some intraperitoneal masses.
