Testing ultrasound depth in endometriosis bowel surgery
Part of Digestive system, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial uses an ultrasound probe placed inside the rectum during surgery to see how accurately it measures how deep and how far endometriosis has spread into the bowel wall. The goal is to help surgeons decide exactly how much bowel needs to be removed.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman between 18 and 55 years old.
- You have deep infiltrative endometriosis (endometriosis growing deep into tissues).
- Your endometriosis has spread into your bowel and your doctor has recommended removing part of your bowel.
- You do not have other bowel diseases like rectal tumors, Crohn's disease, or ulcerative colitis.

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 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 trial tests whether a 2-3 month hormone treatment before a frozen embryo transfer improves pregnancy success in women with deep endometriosis. It may help your body prepare better for the embryo.
This study compares two ways of using ultrasound to check how deeply endometriosis has grown into the bowel. It aims to find which method is more accurate during surgery, which could help doctors remove the disease more completely.
This trial uses ultrasound during surgery to help surgeons find and remove endometriosis from the bowel and nearby areas. It may improve outcomes for people with deep endometriosis affecting the bowel.
This study tests whether using ultrasound during surgery helps doctors better find and remove deep endometriosis in the bowel. It may lead to more precise surgery and better outcomes.
