    Author: Braslis KG, Moss DI.
    Journal: Aust N Z J Surg; 1996 Apr; 66(4):222-4. PubMed ID: 8611129.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: Symptomatic testicular hydrocele and cyst of the epididymis may be treated with either operation or sclerotherapy. METHODS: The current report presents the experience of a 9 year prospective study using sodium tetradecyl sulphate (STD) sclerotherapy for the treatment of symptomatic hydrocele and/or epididymal cyst. RESULTS: A total of 102 lesions were treated during the study period, with an initial success rate of 76% which improved to 94% with multiple treatments. The overall median follow up during the study was 30 months (range 2-100). CONCLUSIONS: Sclerotherapy offers a cost-effective outpatient method for the treatment of symptomatic scrotal cysts.
