Purpose: To retrospectively evaluate the relief of pain after percutaneous image-guided cryoablation of symptomatic extraperitoneal endometriosis (EE). Material and Methods: From 2017 to 2022, cryoablation of EE was performed at a single institution on a total of 47 lesions in 42 consecutive patients (median age, 37 years; interquartile range [IQR], 33–39.5 years). Patient and procedural characteristics were reviewed retrospectively. Tolerance and outcomes in terms of pain and patient satisfaction were evaluated. Results: The median follow-up duration was 13.5 months (IQR, 1.1–37.7 months) after cryoablation. The median pain-free survival rate was 93.8% (95% confidence interval [CI], 77.3–98.4) at 6 months and 82.7% (95% CI, 58.8–93.5) after 12 months. Pain decreased from a median of 8/10 (IQR, 7–9) on the visual analog scale to 0/10 (IQR, 0–1) at the last follow-up (P
