Surgery plus IVF for one large ovarian endometrioma
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether doing surgery (for an ovarian endometrioma—a painful cyst) together with IVF can improve outcomes for people trying to get pregnant after other issues. It focuses on women with one sizable endometrioma and plans standard IVF without certain add-ons.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 35 years old.
- You need IVF (assisted reproduction) because of tubal problems, male-factor infertility, other treatment failures, and/or infertility lasting over 4 years.
- An ultrasound shows exactly one ovarian endometrioma (one cyst) that is at least 30 mm (3 cm).
- You do not have other medical conditions besides the endometrioma that would affect eligibility.
- You do not have deep infiltrating endometriosis, have not had prior ovarian surgery, and you do not have cysts in both ovaries (not bilateral).
- You will not use donor eggs or donor sperm.
- Your IVF plan will not include preimplantation genetic testing (genetic testing of embryos before transfer or freezing).

This study compares two surgical techniques for removing ovarian endometriomas (cysts from endometriosis) to see how they affect your ovary's ability to work normally. It may help you if you have pain or infertility from these cysts and want to preserve your fertility.
This study tests a new laser method to remove ovarian cysts (endometriomas) that develop from endometriosis tissue. Researchers will examine tissue samples removed during your surgery to understand how well the laser works and how it affects the cyst.
This trial tests if a less invasive ultrasound-guided ethanol injection works as well as laparoscopic surgery for treating ovarian endometriomas (fluid-filled cysts from endometriosis). It may offer a treatment option with fewer side effects.
This trial compares starting with surgery versus starting with fertility treatment (like IVF) for people with advanced endometriosis who may want to have children. The goal is to see which approach first leads to better outcomes.
This trial studies a treatment approach for women with a large endometrioma (an endometriosis-related ovarian cyst). It may help reduce symptoms and treat the cyst, but you can join only if certain imaging and safety requirements are met.
This study tests a surgical technique to remove ovarian cysts caused by endometriosis while preserving as much healthy ovary as possible. It is designed for women who want to preserve their fertility and plan to conceive after surgery.
