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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests different methods to minimize blood loss during laparoscopic surgery to remove uterine fibroids. It may help women with heavy bleeding or trouble getting pregnant.
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 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 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.
