Argon beam coagulation in ovarian endometrioma surgery
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman between 18 and 40 years old.
- You have an ovarian endometrioma (cyst) that measures 3 cm or larger, confirmed by ultrasound or MRI.
- You are scheduled for laparoscopic surgery to remove the cyst.
- You have not had surgery on the affected ovary before.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.

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 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 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 study compares two different ablation techniques used during surgery to remove endometriosis lesions. It aims to see which method works better for relieving pelvic pain symptoms.
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 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.
