Laser surgery for endometriosis cysts with fertility or pain
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial studies a “conservative” laparoscopic CO2 laser surgery approach for endometriosis cysts, aiming to treat pain and/or infertility while preserving ovarian function. It may help people who have a suitable cyst size and do not need certain hormone treatments before and after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be between 18 and 40 years old (inclusive)
- Have one endometriosis cyst on one side sized about 2.5 to 8 cm
- You may also have a small cyst on the other ovary, but it must be 2 cm or smaller
- Be bothered by infertility and and/or pain from endometriosis
- Have a BMI of 35 or lower, and plan to use birth control for at least 4 weeks before surgery
- Not be pregnant, and not have a past hysterectomy or removal of the same ovary (unilateral oophorectomy)

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 procedure called sclerotherapy to shrink ovarian cysts (endometriomas) instead of removing them surgically. The goal is to preserve your ovarian tissue and fertility while treating pain or helping with fertility treatments like IVF.
This trial tests a minimally invasive surgery (laparoscopy) that uses an alcohol solution to shrink ovarian cysts caused by endometriosis. It may offer an alternative to traditional cyst removal while preserving more ovarian tissue.
This trial studies whether surgically removing colorectal (bowel) endometriosis works better and is more cost-effective than choosing an IVF/ICSI treatment plan. It’s for people who want to get pregnant and are deciding between surgery and fertility treatments.
This study tests a new laser treatment to destroy ovarian cysts caused by endometriosis during laparoscopic surgery. The goal is to see if the laser can safely remove the cyst wall, which might help reduce pain and preserve fertility.
