OBJECTIVE Checking the efficiency (cost/benefit) of the sclerotherapy with polidocanol in our country for the treatment of hydrocele and epididymal cyst. METHODS We studies 86 patients with this diagnosis from may of 1995, until april of 2000. We have applied the costs for process according to the indicators of administration-cost our hospital in the year 1999. RESULTS 79 patient completed the protocol. The overall cure rate was 83.87% with sclerotherapy; 42.3% with first one treatment. Only a 4.5% of the patients had significant pain and a 7.4% others complications. CONCLUSIONS There were necessaries 1.5 sclerotherapies of mean for curation, resulting this treatment 4.78 more cheaper than surgery. CONCLUSIONS The sclerotherapy with polidocanol of the hydrocele or epididymal cyst are an effective treatment, sure, simple, reasonably comfortable and fundamentally, economical.
