This short paper discusses the “catheter method” used in ethanol sclerotherapy for ovarian endometriomas, describing how the approach is performed and framed within sclerotherapy management. It draws on prior literature and technical considerations rather than reporting new trial data, and it provides limited methodological detail because it is positioned as a commentary/overview. The authors report no funding and declare no conflicts of interest. This paper is centrally about endometriosis—specifically ovarian endometriomas and the catheter-directed ethanol sclerotherapy technique.
