Alcohol treatment for ovarian cysts during laparoscopy
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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 tests whether injecting ethanol into endometriomas (benign ovarian cysts from endometriosis) before IVF can improve fertility outcomes. It may be considered if you have endometriomas within a specific size range and no major issues that affect IVF success.
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 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.
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.
