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 trial compares two surgical techniques for removing ovarian endometriomas (chocolate cysts) in women with pain or infertility. The goal is to see which method better preserves egg supply (ovarian reserve).
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 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 combines surgery to remove an ovarian cyst (endometrioma) with fertility treatment (ART) to see if it helps improve pregnancy chances. It is for women who have one cyst and need help getting pregnant.
