Plain-language summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare pregnancy rates after different surgical treatments for endometriomas in adult women who have one or more ovarian cysts (endometriomas) larger than 2 cm requiring surgery. The main questions it aims to answer are:
How many women become pregnant within 24 months after surgery ? What are the birth rates and different types of pregnancies (natural, with fertility treatments, and those continuing beyond 12 weeks)? How often do the endometriomas come back after surgery? What surgery-related complications occur? How do pain levels change after treatment?
Researchers will compare different surgical treatment groups to see if one approach results in better pregnancy outcomes and fewer complications.
Participants will:
Be randomly assigned to different surgical treatment groups Undergo surgery for their endometriomas and endometriosis Attend follow-up visits at 3 months and 24 months after the procedure Have their pregnancy outcomes, pain levels, and potential complications monitored throughout the study period

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
