Brief summary

Synthetic haemostatic agent at laparoscopic ovarian cystectomy on ovarian reserve in women aged 25 to 40 years: STASIS study Ovarian cysts are a common gynaecological issue facing reproductive age women and the good standard surgical management is laparoscopic (key hole) ovarian cystectomy (removal of cyst). This procedure can associated with bleeding. Traditional methods to stop bleeding can damage the normal ovary (ovarian reserve) and potentially impact future fertility. Hameostatic (blood clotting) agents are commonly used surgical products applied to the ovary after the cyst has been removed to treat bleeding in a way that minimises damage to the normal ovary. Current available products are human or animal derived. Purastat is a similar product but completely synthetic (does not contain human or animal products), used in Gastrointestinal procedures (colonoscopy and gastroscopy) and is effective in reducing complications related to blood loss. We would like to study if applying this product to the ovary after the time of laparoscopy ovarian cystectomy is protective for ovarian reserve and future fertility.

Interventions

Synthetic haemostatic agent RADA16 (2.5% concentration, 3ml or 5ml prefill syringe as determined by surgical team) will be applied to surgical site following ovarian cystectomy until haemostasis is achieved.and then left in place Administrated by gynaecological surgeon intra-operative data including adherence of intervention will be collected by the surgical team completing STASIS study data collection form at end of procedure
