Laparoscopic sclerotherapy for ovarian endometriomas
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests a minimally invasive surgery to treat large ovarian cysts caused by endometriosis. It may help if you have a cyst over 4 cm and want surgery to manage it.

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 procedure called ethanol sclerotherapy for treating endometriomas (ovarian cysts from endometriosis). The goal is to shrink the cyst and possibly improve fertility without surgery.
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 study tests a new laser method to remove ovarian cysts (endometriomas) that develop from endometriosis tissue. Researchers will examine tissue samples removed during your surgery to understand how well the laser works and how it affects the cyst.
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.
This trial looks at a specific way of closing the ovary (suturing) after surgeons remove an endometrioma using laparoscopic stripping. It may help by improving how the ovary heals and preserving ovarian function in the right patients.
