Temporary ovary repositioning to prevent adhesions in endometriosis surgery
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether temporarily moving the ovaries and attaching them to the belly wall during laparoscopic endometriosis surgery can help prevent adhesions (internal scar tissue) from forming. It's for people with moderate to severe endometriosis who are having surgery anyway.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
