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 deep endometriosis (endometriosis growing into organs like the bowel) is linked to a higher chance of developing colon cancer. It follows women with this condition to see if there's a connection.
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 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 compares two types of ultrasound imaging—one done during surgery and one done before surgery through the vagina—to see which better detects endometriosis affecting the lower bowel. If you have suspected bowel endometriosis and need surgery, this trial may help doctors plan your care more accurately.
This study tests whether using ultrasound during surgery helps doctors better assess and treat deep endometriosis (tissue that grows into the bowel wall). If you have endometriosis affecting your rectum or sigmoid colon and need surgery, this trial may help improve how your surgeon evaluates the extent of disease.
