Comparing surgery types for ovarian endometrioma to protect fertility
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 to 40 years old.
- You have pain or trouble getting pregnant because of an ovarian endometrioma (a cyst caused by endometriosis).
- The cyst is at least 2 cm (20 mm) and no larger than 8 cm (80 mm) in total size.
- You have been using hormone therapy (like birth control pills) for at least one month before the planned surgery.
- You are willing to have follow-up visits at 40-60 days and 12 months after surgery, and to take hormone therapy afterward to prevent the cyst from coming back.
- You have not had prior ovary removal or hysterectomy, and you do not have other types of ovarian cysts or suspected cancer.

This trial studies how deeply argon beam coagulation penetrates ovarian tissue during surgery for endometriomas (ovarian cysts caused by endometriosis). The results may help protect healthy tissue during future surgeries.
This study tests whether doing surgery (for an ovarian endometrioma—a painful cyst) together with IVF can improve outcomes for people trying to get pregnant after other issues. It focuses on women with one sizable endometrioma and plans standard IVF without certain add-ons.
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 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.
This study compares two ways to treat ovarian endometriomas during surgery: the standard method (removing the cyst) versus a newer technique using argon plasma (a gas that burns away tissue without cutting). The goal is to see which approach works better and helps preserve your ovaries.
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.
