TI  - The testes after unilateral incarcerated inguinal hernia in prepubertal rats.
PG  - 263-9
AB  - The ipsilateral and contralateral testes after unilateral incarcerated inguinal 
      hernia were evaluated, and compared to the contralateral testis after unilateral 
      testicular torsion in 30 prepubertal rats. Control, torsion and detorsion at 24 
      hours, and incarcerated inguinal hernia and reduction in the 24 hour groups, each 
      consisting of ten rats were established. The testes were harvested after 15 days. 
      Mean seminiferous tubular diameters (MSTD) and mean testicular biopsy scores 
      (MTBS) were determined and compared. A decrease in MSTD and depression in MTBS, 
      which was more prominent in the ipsilateral testes, were found in both 
      ipsilateral and contralateral testes following unilateral incarcerated inguinal 
      hernia. The testicular damage encountered after unilateral incarcerated inguinal 
      hernia was similar to the contralateral testicular damage following unilateral 
      testicular torsion with the utilized parameters.
