Abstract

The aim of this study is to examine the clinical importance of mean platelet volume (MPV) in patients with testicular torsion. In this retrospective study, two study groups were analyzed. Group I consisted of 31 patients diagnosed with testicular torsion following scrotal exploration. Group II was determined as control group. A total of 38 healthy male patients visited the urology clinic for their routine controls were included in the study. MPV values between Groups I and II were compared statistically. The mean age of the 69 patients included in the study was 10.87±8.99 years. MPV values were calculated as 8.33±1.08 and 9.7±1.49 for Group I and II, respectively. MPV values in Group I were statistically lower than that in Group II (p<0.001). The MPV value is significantly reduced in patients with testicular torsion. Therefore, we think that MPV values can be used as a supporting criterion in the diagnosis of testicular torsion.

Özet

Bu çalışmada testis torsiyonlu hastalarda ortalama trombosit hacminin (MPV) klinik öneminin araştırılması amaçlanmıştır. Bu retrospektif çalışmada iki çalışma grubu analiz edildi. Grup 1; skrotal eksplorasyon ile testis torsiyonu tanısı konulan 31 hastadan oluşmaktaydı. Grup 2; kontrol grubu olarak belirlendi. Kontrol grubuna; üroloji polikliniğine rutin kontrol amacıyla başvuran ve tamamen sağlıklı 38 erkek hasta dahil edildi. Grup 1 ve 2 arasındaki MPVdeğerleri istatiksel olarak karşılaştırıldı. Çalışmaya alınan 69 hastanın yaş ortalaması 10,87±8,99 yıl idi. Grup 1 ve 2 için MPV değerleri sırası ile 8,33±1,08 ve 9,7±1,49 olarak hesaplandı. Grup 1’de hesaplanan MPV değerleri Grup 2 ile karşılaştırıldığında istatiksel olarak anlamlı olarak düşük olarakizlendi (p<0,001). Testis torsiyonlu hastalarda MPV değeri önemli ölçüde azalmaktadır. Dolayısıyla MPV değerinin testis torsiyonu tanısında destekleyici bir kriter olarak kullanabileceğini düşünmekteyiz.
