Here, investigators aimed to evaluate the effect of inguinal operations performed with a modified Ferguson technique upon testicular volume and blood flow. This study involved 23 patients receiving surgery for inguinal hernia, hydrocele, and cord cyst. The color Doppler ultrasound (CDUS) was used to assess testicular volume and blood flow before and after a modified Ferguson technique surgery. The pre- and postoperative testicular volume and blood flow were compared with the contralateral testes. Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software was used to statistically analyze the data arising; the Mann-Whitney U test and Friedman test were used to compare samples, and P \< 0.05 was accepted as statistically significant.
