Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  1. Women diagnosed with benign ovarian cysts requiring surgical management.
  2. Women who choose laparoscopic ovarian cystectomy voluntarily sign a surgical consent form.
  3. Women participating in this study recognize three hemostatic methods and are ready to randomly accept one of them.
  4. Women aged between 18 and 40 years old.
  5. It was diagnosed by ultrasound as unilateral or bilateral benign ovarian cysts with a maximum diameter of 4-8cm. The nature of the cysts is ultimately confirmed by postoperative pathological examination.
  6. Women with no previous history of ovarian surgery, chemotherapy, or pelvic radiation therapy.
  7. Patients with no history of endocrine disorders such as hyperprolactinemia, hypothyroidism, or hyperthyroidism, and no history of endocrine therapy within 6 months before laparoscopic ovarian cystectomy.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Polycystic ovary syndrome.
  2. Pregnancy or lactation period.
  3. Women with active pelvic inflammatory disease, genital or extragenital malignant tumors.
  4. Women who have undergone two or more pelvic or abdominal surgeries.
  5. Evidence of premature ovarian failure or premature menopause, such as AMH\<1ng/ml.
  6. Conversion to open surgery.
  7. Women who refuse to sign or are unable to attend follow-up regularly.
  8. Cysts that do not originate from the ovaries or have the characteristics of malignant tumors.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(1)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Antral Follicle Count (AFC)

    Antral follicle count (AFC) generally refers to the basic follicles in ovaries, which have not yet begun to develop. If the number of AFC is within the normal range (usually 5-10), it indicates that the ovarian reserve function is normal. If the number is low, it generally means that the ovarian reserve function is relatively low. If the number is high, it may be caused by polycystic ovary syndrome. Besides, AFC can be detected through ultrasound examination, and the number of AFC can directly reflect the ovarian reserve of each ovary.

    Time frame: Preoperative quantity and postoperative quantity for 1, 3, and 6 months

Secondary outcomes

  1. Anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH)

    Anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH), which can be detected through blood tests, is considered a reliable marker produced by ovarian granulosa cells. The level of AMH indirectly reflects the number of ovarian follicular pools and the joint reserve of both ovaries. In addition, the level of AMH fluctuates less throughout the menstrual cycle. Besides, AMH is almost unrelated to the menstrual cycle and is not affected by gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists or oral contraceptives.

    Time frame: Preoperative level and postoperative level at 1, 3, and 6 months

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on May 10, 2024, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
