New study tests gentler surgery for ovarian cysts
NCT ID NCT07065214
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two surgical methods for treating ovarian endometriomas (cysts caused by endometriosis): standard cystectomy (removing the cyst wall) and argon plasma coagulation (using a gas-based tool to destroy the cyst lining). The goal is to see which method better preserves ovarian function, measured by changes in AMH (a hormone linked to egg supply). About 72 women will be randomly assigned to one of the two procedures and followed for 12 months.
