To analyze the diagnostic value of automatic ultrasonic full-volume scanning system for inguinal hernia.

The clinical data of 100 patients with inguinal hernia diagnosed and treated in Hainan provincial people's hospital from January 2017 to May 2018 were enrolled. The patients diagnosed by traditional ultrasound were set as the control group and those diagnosed by automatic ultrasound full-volume scanning system as the study group. The hernia width and length, diagnostic accuracy, diagnostic accuracy for various types of hernia, and accuracy of diagnosis by physicians of different seniorities were compared between the two groups.

The width and length of hernia were (14.85±5.95) mm and (16.24±6.15) mm in the control group, and were (14.51±5.28) mm and (16.18±6.63) mm in the study group, respectively. And the differences between the two groups were not statistically significant (P>0.05). The diagnostic accuracy in the study group was 92.00%, higher than that in the control group, which was 82.00% (P<0.05). The diagnostic accuracy of various types of hernia such as indirect hernia and direct hernia, etc. in the study group was 95.71%, 86.36% and 91.00%, respectively, higher than the control group where the data were 80.00%, 54.55% and 71.00%, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). The accuracy of diagnosis for different types of hernia made by physicians of different seniorities showed no statistically significant difference between the two groups (P>0.05).

Ultrasonic automatic full-volume scanning system (AVSS) is accurate in diagnosis of inguinal hernia and can clearly show the size and type of hernia. The accuracy of diagnosis with automatic ultrasound full-volume automatic scanning system made by younger physicians is higher than that with conventional ultrasound. Therefore, based on the actual situations, automatic ultrasound full-volume scanning system should be prioritized since it is with positive significance for the diagnosis and treatment of various types of inguinal hernia.
