AIM: In this study, we compared and valued efficacy and safety of percutaneous
echoguided sclerotherapy (PES) using 3% polidocanol with that using 99% ethanol
in the treatment of patients with simple renal cysts. MATERIALS AND METHODS: PES
was performed for 65 simple renal cysts. Under ultrasonographic guidance the cyst
was punctured using an 18 gauge needle. Sclerotherapy was performed with ethanol
in 55% (36/65) of cases and with polidocanol in the remaining 45% (29/65).
Patients were followed up with an ultrasound examination at 4 months, 8 months,
and then at yearly intervals. A reduction of 50% or greater in cyst diameter was
considered successful. RESULTS: The median followup period for the ethanol and
polidocanol groups was 24.6 and 22.8 months, respectively. The successful outcome
ratio of the polidocanol group was significantly higher (90% vs. 61%,
respectively) than the one of the ethanol group (P = 0.003). The partial
regression of the ethanol and polidocanol groups were 6% versus 7%, respectively.
The failure ratio of the polidocanol group was significantly lower (3% vs. 33%,
respectively) than that of the ethanol group (P = 0.004). Neither infectious
complications nor hyperthermia occurred in all treated cases. However, these
methods are not completely free from symptoms. All these symptoms disappeared few
hours after the procedure. CONCLUSIONS: Polidocanol is a safe and effective
sclerosing agent for renal cysts, with superior clinical results than ethanol.
Therefore, polidocanol can be an alternative to ethanol in sclerotherapy of renal
cysts.
