Robotic vs laparoscopic surgery for deep endometriosis
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial compares robotic surgery and standard laparoscopic surgery for people with deep endometriosis seen on MRI. It aims to see which approach helps symptoms better or with fewer problems after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have been diagnosed with deep endometriosis on an MRI scan
- You have symptoms from endometriosis
- Your doctor says you need surgery (operative treatment is indicated)
- You are well enough for anesthesia—ASA health score 1 to 3
- You can understand the study and sign informed consent
- You do not have recurring rectosigmoid endometriosis

This trial tests robotic-assisted surgery to remove the uterus (hysterectomy) and all endometriosis lesions in people with both adenomyosis and deep endometriosis. It's for those who haven't found relief from medical treatments and are ready for surgery.
This trial compares two robotic systems (Da Vinci and HUGO RAS) for surgery to treat deep endometriosis. If you have endometriosis that isn't helped by medicine and you need surgery, you may be able to join this study to see which robot works better.
This trial studies whether MRI can improve diagnosis and surgical planning for people with deep endometriosis before they have laparoscopic surgery. It may help you if you have deep endometriosis and are already scheduled for an MRI and surgery.
This trial tests a new surgical approach using small incisions and cameras to treat endometriosis affecting the bowel. The goal is to improve bowel function and quality of life for women with this painful condition.
This study compares two surgical techniques for removing endometriosis from the bowel. It aims to see if one method (all work done inside the body) leads to better recovery than the other (partly done outside). This may help women with deep endometriosis affecting the intestine choose the best approach.
This trial compares two imaging tests (transvaginal ultrasound and MRI) to see which one better detects deep infiltrating endometriosis. If you have known deep endometriosis and symptoms like pelvic pain or infertility, this study may help determine the best way to diagnose and treat your condition.
