TThe Role of Mean Platelet Volume in the Diagnosis of Testicular Torsion

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.
