This illustration depicts key steps of a laparoscopic procedure to remove an endometrioma cyst from the ovary. The top image shows the cyst wall being dissected from the wall of the ovary after the cyst is drained, while the insets to the right of the image are diagrammatic representations of the appearance of the cyst before and after drainage.

The bottom images depict the reconstruction of the ovary. The left inset depicts the technique used to suture the ovary, while the image to the right of it shows the appearance of the reconstructed ovary in context. The dark surrounding environment is intended to lead the viewer’s eye to the key surgical moments and mimic laparoscopic lighting. To ensure contrast and legibility, all text is above a 4.5:1 luminance ratio, and the color palette accommodates color blindness.
