Forty patients with testicular hydroceles and 16 patients with epididymal cysts were treated by tapping and injection of ethanolamine oleate; 97.5% of the hydroceles and 31% of the epididymal cysts were completely cured, 50% of the latter partly cured and 19% failed. About half of the patients experienced pain after treatment. Two patients developed infection. Ultrasonography showed no change in the testicular tissue during the follow-up period. Sclerotherapy with ethanolamine oleate is a rapid and cost-effective modality which can be recommended as primary treatment for hydroceles and for unilocular epididymal cysts, especially in elderly males.
40例睾丸鞘膜积液患者和16例附睾囊肿患者接受了穿刺并注射油酸乙醇胺治疗；97.5%的鞘膜积液和31%的附睾囊肿完全治愈，后者50%部分治愈，19%治疗失败。约一半患者治疗后出现疼痛。2例发生感染。超声检查显示随访期间睾丸组织无变化。油酸乙醇胺硬化疗法是一种快速且经济有效的治疗方法，可推荐作为鞘膜积液和单房性附睾囊肿的主要治疗方法，尤其是老年男性患者。
