A comparison has been made between a series of hydroceles and cysts of epididymis treated by surgery with a complication rate of at least 17% haematoma and 10% sepsis, an average hospital stay of five days, and a much longer time off work, and a series treated by tapping and injection (described in detail) requiring one to three visits to outpatients, an almost negligible complication rate, and no failures in those completing treatment.
对一系列接受手术治疗的鞘膜积液和附睾囊肿与另一系列接受穿刺和注射治疗（详细描述）的病例进行了比较。手术治疗的并发症发生率至少为17%的血肿和10%的脓毒症，平均住院时间为五天，误工时间更长；而穿刺和注射治疗只需到门诊就诊一至三次，并发症发生率几乎可忽略不计，完成治疗的患者无一失败。
