NCT06775769

Brief Summary

A randomised controlled trial assessing ovarian reserve after laparoscopic ethanol sclerotherapy of ovarian endometrioma compared to standard treatment of surgical excision of endometrioma. Secondary outcomes will include endometrioma recurrence, symptomatology and inflammatory environment.

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Ovarian Reserve

    To determine the statistical difference in ovarian reserve pre- and post- treatment (as measured by serum AMH at 3, 6, 12 and 24 months and antral follicle count at 6, 12 and 24 months) in participants randomised to receive laparoscopic ethanol sclerotherapy or laparoscopic excision of endometrioma

    24 months

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Endometrioma recurrence

    24 monhts

  • Symptomatology

    24 monhts

  • Inflammation

Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64)

You may qualify if:

  • Female (XX genotype, assigned female at birth)
  • Age 18-40
  • Finding of suspected uni- or bi-lateral ovarian endometrioma(ta) of ≥ 2cm on TVUSS and/or pelvic MRI scan (TVUSS, a uni- or multi-locular ovarian cystic lesion with low level echoes and diffuse homogeneous ground glass appearance; MRI any of, ovarian lesion hyperintense T1 without loss of signal on T1 fat-suppressed images, hypointense T2 exhibiting shading sign and/or T2 dark spot sign, variable restricted diffusion on DWI)
  • Appropriate to be listed for laparoscopic excision of endometrioma (Endometrioma ≥2cm, pain symptoms attributable to endometriosis where medical management is unsuccessful or unacceptable to the patient, to facilitate ART)

You may not qualify if:

  • Postmenopausal status
  • Suspicion of malignancy
  • Unable to undergo TVUSS
  • Declines to take part in the study
  • Unable to understand verbal or written information in English
