1. A system for performing an ovarian procedure comprising:
a) a docking device, the docking device comprising an elongate body and having a proximal end, a distal end, and defining a lumen therethrough; b) a radiofrequency energy element slidable within and deployable from the lumen of the docking device; c) a transvaginal probe comprising a handle and an ultrasound transducer; d) a visual identifier or a mechanical lock for coupling the docking device to the probe handle to maintain planar orientation of the radiofrequency energy element relative to the ultrasound transducer during the ovarian procedure; and e) a generator configured to supply radiofrequency energy to the radiofrequency energy element.
