Surgery for severe endometriosis of the bowel
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests surgery to remove deep endometriosis nodules that have grown into the wall of the rectum or sigmoid colon. It focuses on women with this specific type of endometriosis to see if surgery can improve symptoms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must have deep endometriosis that has invaded the muscle layer of the rectum or sigmoid colon.
- You cannot have inflammatory bowel disease (like Crohn's or ulcerative colitis).

This study compares two surgical techniques for removing bowel affected by deep endometriosis: one where the surgeon works entirely inside the body, and one where part of the surgery is done outside. The goal is to see which approach leads to better recovery and fewer complications. If you are having bowel surgery for endometriosis, you may be able to join.
This study looks at whether having deep endometriosis, especially when it affects the bowel, is linked to a higher chance of developing colon or rectal cancer later on. By participating, you could help researchers understand this connection better, which may improve future care for women with endometriosis.
This study observes women with deep endometriosis that affects the colon or rectum to better understand the condition and improve treatment. Your participation will help researchers learn more about this type of endometriosis.
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.
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 studies how well a minimally invasive (laparoscopic) surgery works for people with severe endometriosis that affects the bowel. It may help improve symptoms and quality of life, and it focuses on planned surgery for this specific type of endometriosis.
