An interventional study of CO2 (carbon dioxide) laser vaporisation and Stripping technique in Endometriosis Ovary, sponsored by Hospital Clinic of Barcelona. Completed. Open to female participants aged 18 Years to 45 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2019-02-01.

Endometriosis is a disease characterized by the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterus cavity, causing important chronic pain and sterility in those patients suffering from it. It affects from 10 to 20% of women at reproductive age. Different types of endometriosis, which can coexist in the same patient, exist: deep infiltrating endometriosis (implants infiltrate > 5 mm the peritoneum), superficial endometriosis and ovarian endometriosis (OMA). OMA sometimes require surgery, and it is known that healthy ovarian tissue is also injured during resection. Consequently, ovarian reserve decreases, worsening the reproductive prognosis of patients affected. The main objective of the present study is to compare laser versus conventional OMA excision according to ovarian reserve in a pairwise-data study.
902 studies on the registry are indexed under Endometriosis; 260 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 16 is below the median of 64 across 525 interventional studies indexed under Endometriosis.
