Ultrasound during surgery for bowel endometriosis
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have deep endometriosis (endometriosis growing into the bowel or nearby structures) seen on an ultrasound or MRI.
- You are scheduled for laparoscopic or robot-assisted surgery to treat it.
- You can commit to follow-up visits for at least 12 months after surgery.
- You are not pregnant when joining the trial.
- You understand Spanish or English well enough to give informed consent.

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.
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.
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 trial studies whether fully removing deep endometriosis from the bowel (“bowel endometriosis surgery”) can improve fertility in people trying to get pregnant through IVF. It focuses on those with infertility and ongoing pain despite usual medicines.
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.
