[Diagnosis and treatment of acute epididymoorchitis].

From 1963 we treated 330 patients aged from 15 to 85 years admitted to the urological clinic with acute epididymoorchitis of mild (n = 106), moderate (n = 82) and grave severity (n = 152). The diagnosis of purulent forms of epididymitis and epididymoorchitis was made basing on clinical and ultrasonic studies. Aspiration thin-needle puncture of epididymic membrane under ultrasonic control with calculation of leucocyte count was made for detection of purulent-process in 17 patients with epididymitis at the stage of diffuse inflammation.
