Selective Removal of Endometriotic Lesions Using CUSA Clarity in Ovarian Endometriomas
Recruiting now
Conditions studied: Ovarian Endometrioma, Endometriosis
In brief
This study aims to evaluate the feasibility and tissue selectivity of a novel surgical technology, the Cavitron Ultrasonic Surgical Aspirator (CUSA) Clarity, in the management of ovarian endometriomas. Ovarian endometriomas are cysts caused by endometriosis that can damage ovarian reserve when treated by conventional surgery. In this study, ovarian cyst wall specimens are examined ex vivo using different Tissue Select settings of the CUSA device. Histopathological analyses are performed to determine whether endometriotic epithelium can be selectively removed while preserving normal ovarian tissue. The findings may contribute to developing fertility-preserving surgical approaches for women with endometriomas.
