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 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 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 find and remove deep endometriosis in the bowel. It may lead to more precise surgery and better outcomes.
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 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 trial compares two imaging methods—transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) and MRI—to see which one is better at finding deep infiltrating endometriosis before surgery. If you have endometriosis and are planning laparoscopic surgery, this study may help guide your treatment by improving how doctors see the disease.
