MRI for diagnosing deep endometriosis before surgery
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 40 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with deep endometriosis or endometriosis in the ovaries, based on a clinical exam and ultrasound, and you need an MRI to help plan surgery.
- You are planning to have laparoscopic surgery (keyhole surgery) to treat endometriosis.
- You have not had any abdominal surgery before.
- You do not have a current or past cancer diagnosis.
- You do not have chronic bowel diseases like Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, or interstitial cystitis, and you have never had pelvic inflammatory disease.
- You do not have any spinal problems (like herniated discs or nerve root issues) or a history of radiation or chemotherapy.

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 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 study looks at two types of imaging (ultrasound and MRI) used before surgery for deep endometriosis. It aims to see which imaging method best helps surgeons plan and diagnose deep endometriosis.
This trial studies whether special scans (PET/MRI) can help predict how well endometrial cancer patients will do. You may be asked to get these scans before surgery, and your results may help classify your cancer risk.
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.
This trial uses MRI to diagnose pelvic endometriosis in patients who have not yet received treatment. It aims to see how well MRI can find endometriosis, which might help avoid surgery for diagnosis.
