Abstract: Objective To investigate the clinical effect of ultrasound-guided sclerosing therapy with injection of lauromacrogol for the treatment of pelvic encapsulated hydrops. Methods A total of 40 patients with pelvic encapsulated hydrops were enrolled in this study. Under ultrasonographic guidance , puncture aspiration of pelvic encapsulated hydrops was carried out in all patients , which was followed by lauromacrogol injection of appropriate dose, and the drainage catheter was kept in the hydrops cavity. The clinical results were evaluated at one, 2 and 3 months after the treatment. Results The success rate of puncturing was 100%. Six months after the treatment, the complete cure was obtained in 86.4%of patients, and the effective rate was 100%. Conclusion For the treatment of pelvic encapsulated hydrops , ultrasound-guided sclerosing therapy with injection of lauromacrogol is effective and safe with instant result and lower recurrence rate. Therefore, this technique should be recommended in clinical practice.
