Sclerotherapy of hydroceles and spermatoceles with alcohol: results and effects on the semen analysis

Abstract: Purpose:To evaluate the success rates of sclerotherapy of the tunica vaginalis with alcohol for the treatment of hydroceles and/or spermatoceles, as well as, evaluation of pain, formation of hematomas, infection and its effects in spermatogenesis . Materials and Methods: A total of 69 patients, with offsprings and diagnosis of hydrocele and/or spermatocele, were treated during the period from April 2003 to June 2007. Semen analysis was obtained from patients who were able to provide us with samples. The sclero… Show more

“…The addition of sclerotherapy triggers necrosis of the cyst epithelium, which leads to coaptation of the walls. Multiple sclerosing substances have been described, including talc, phenol, polidocanol, doxycycline, tetracycline, sodium tetradecyl sulphate and a single study using alcohol …”

“…Each agent reports a cure rate ranging from 85% to 97%, with complication rates of up to 50%. [8][9][10][11][12] Alcohol is a sclerosing agent that has a chemical irritant effect on the contacting tissue. The necrosis produced by alcohol injection is secondary to cellular dehydration, cell membrane lysis, and protein denaturation.…”

“…Из 69 пациентов 7 (10,14 %) сразу сооб-щили о легкой боли после процедуры, 3 -об умерен-ной боли (4,35 %), а 2 -о сильной (2,89 %). После склеротерапии до 6 мес на спермограммах были сни-жены параметры концентрации, подвижности и мор-фологии, возврат к нормальным параметрам состоялся через 12 мес после процедуры [26]. Авторы заключали, что склеротерапия гидроцеле и сперматоцеле с 99,5 % спиртом является эффективной процедурой, которая может быть выполнена без трудностей, с экономической эффективностью и немногими побочными эффектами, особенно для пациентов, желающих иметь детей.…”
