Methods and systems for the treatment of polycystic ovary syndrome

A system for performing an ovarian procedure, the system comprising:

• a docking device having a proximal region comprising a deployment feature, a distal region configured to penetrate an ovary, an elongated body having a lumen, and an alignment element at the proximal region;
• a therapeutic element slidably disposed within the lumen of the docking device and configured to be deployed from the lumen of the docking device within the ovary upon actuation of the deployment feature, the therapeutic element configured to emit energy to ablate ovarian tissue from within the ovary;
• and
• an alignment adapter configured to be removably coupled to an ultrasound probe and to the alignment element of the docking device, the alignment adapter comprising a mechanical lock configured to transition between a locked position where the alignment element is fixed to the alignment adapter in a manner than maintains planar orientation of the docking device and therapeutic element relative to the ultrasound probe, and a partially-locked position where translation of the docking device relative to the alignment adapter is permitted.
