TI  - The fate of testes following unilateral incarcerated inguinal hernia in adult 
      rats.
PG  - 176-9
AB  - The histological effects of unilateral incarcerated inguinal hernia on the 
      ipsilateral and contralateral testes were examined in adult rats. Three groups 
      were established. In the first group the left testis and caecum were exposed and 
      replaced. In group 2 a left-sided incarcerated inguinal hernia was created with 
      bilateral orchiectomy 24 h later. In group 3 a left-sided incarcerated inguinal 
      hernia was created with reduction after 24 h. The testes of animals in groups 1 
      and 3 were removed after 15 days. The mean seminiferous tubular diameter (MSTD) 
      and mean testicular biopsy score (MTBS) were determined for ipsilateral and 
      contralateral testes in each of the 3 groups. A decreased MSTD and depressed 
      MTBS, were pronounced in the ipsilateral testes, were found in the testes of 
      group 3 animals. While unilateral incarcerated inguinal hernias caused more 
      pronounced histological changes in the ipsilateral testes, they also affected the 
      contralateral testes, but a time interval was required for the changes to become 
      manifest.
