The objectives of this study were to: (1) establish the causes of scrotal swelling in the hospital catchment population; (2) define the role of high frequency ultrasound examination in the management of scrotal swelling. A retrospective study of 582 patients who had high frequency ultrasound examination was carried out. Those requiring more information on perfusion had colour doppler examination. Forty-four per cent of examinations were performed for scrotal swelling. The cause of the scrotal swelling was mainly extratesticular (75% of all scrotal swellings), hydrocele being the commonest. Of the intratesticular causes, infection (50.8%) and tumour (20.6%) were the commonest. In conclusion ultrasound examination distinguishes extratesticular (almost always benign) from intratesticular (potentially malignant) causes of scrotal swelling. Infection, trauma and torsion mimic the ultrasound appearance of tumour as do rare benign entities.

Abstract Background Currently, microsurgeons are in the era of supermicrosurgery and perforator flap reconstruction. As these reconstructions frequently utilize vessels that are smaller than a single millimeter, understanding of location of lymphatic vessels and perforator anatomy preoperatively is essential. To change with the times, the role of ultrasound has changed from just an adjunct to primary imaging of the choice in reconstructive supermicrosurgery. Recently, a novel ultrasonographic technique involving the use of ultra-high frequency ultrasound (UHFUS) frequencies has entered the scene, and appears a promising tool in surgical planning. Methods The literatures on the applications of UHFUS in reconstructive supermicrosurgery were retrieved and reviewed from more than 60 literatures have been published on the surgical applications of UHFUS. Results Nine studies were retrieved from the literature on the applications of UHFUS in reconstructive supermicrosurgery. The articles report both application for lymphatic surgery and perforator flaps. Conclusions UHFUS application involves an increasing number of reconstructive supermicrosurgery field. UHFUS is a valuable and powerful tool for any reconstructive surgeons who are interested in performing supermicrosurgery.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to compare clinical diagnosis made by physical examination with high frequency ultrasonographic findings and also to correlate ultrasonographic findings of painful shoulders of cases with asymptomatic shoulders of control subjects. The most common clinical diagnosis was supraspinatus lesion (38) followed by bicep tendon lesion (14) .Rotator cuff was the most common structure to show abnormality (critical zone of avascularity) with supraspinatus being the most commonly involved tendon in our study. Non-invasiveness, easy availability along with its cost effectiveness justify role of high frequency ultrasound in the assessment of painful shoulder.
