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.
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.
