Comparing heat vs. sealant for bleeding during ovarian cyst removal
Part of Cancer, Hormones & metabolism, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study compares two ways to stop bleeding during laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery to remove benign ovarian cysts: one uses heat (electrosurgery) and the other uses a special sealant. It aims to see which method is safer and more effective, which could help you recover faster and with fewer complications.

This study looks at how ovary function changes after surgery to remove a cyst from the ovary. It compares women with endometriosis-related cysts to those with other types, to better understand recovery.
This study compares two minimally invasive surgery methods for removing ovarian cysts or ovaries: one through a small incision in the belly button and one through the vagina. The goal is to see which approach leads to better recovery and less pain.
This trial compares two surgical techniques to reduce bleeding during surgery to remove fibroids (benign tumors) from the uterus. The goal is to find the safest, least-bloody approach for women who need this procedure.
This trial compares two methods used during laparoscopic (small-robot/pinch-incision) ovarian cyst surgery to see which stops bleeding better and better protects future fertility. You may be eligible if you’re having surgery for ovarian endometriosis and meet hormone and pregnancy-related requirements.
This trial compares two surgical techniques for removing ovarian endometriomas (chocolate cysts) in women with pain or infertility. The goal is to see which method better preserves egg supply (ovarian reserve).
This study tests sewing the ovary closed after removing an endometrioma (a type of ovarian cyst caused by endometriosis). The goal is to see if this helps the ovary work better after surgery.
