Comparison of testicular volume differential calculations in adolescents with varicoceles.

Abstract:

PURPOSE:We aimed to develop a conversion formula between different calculations for testicular volume asymmetry. MATERIALS AND METHODS:Male adolescents with varicoceles who underwent scrotal ultrasound were studied. Two formulas were analyzed: (1) testicular volume differential, TVDiff = (RTV - LTV)/(TTV), and (2) atrophy index, AI = (RTV - LTV)/(RTV). RTV, LTV, and TTV represent the right, left, and total testicular volume. Through transformations and regression a conversion formula between the calculations was derived. RESULTS:Based on 248 ultrasounds, a clear relationship between the two formulas was demonstrated: AI = ln[(1.97 × TVDiff) + 1], (p < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS:Differential testicular volumes can easily be converted from one formula to another with near-perfect accuracy. The formulas are essentially identical and interchangeable.
