Comparing imaging before surgery for deep endometriosis
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks back at imaging (like ultrasound or MRI) done before surgery for deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) to see how well these scans predicted what surgeons found. Participation involves only reviewing your medical records, no extra visits or tests, and may help improve how DIE is planned and treated.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had an ultrasound (TVS) or MRI before your surgery for endometriosis.
- You were diagnosed with deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE).
- You had surgery to treat the endometriosis.
- Your surgery took place between October 2021 and December 2024.
- The imaging was done at one of the two participating hospitals in Belgium.

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.
This study uses MRI scans to create 3D models of deep endometriosis to help surgeons plan better. It may lead to improved surgical outcomes for people with this condition.
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 study compares two robotic surgery systems (Da Vinci and HUGO RAS) used to remove deep endometriosis. If you are scheduled for endometriosis surgery, participation could help doctors learn which robotic approach is more effective and safer.
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.
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.
