Using ultrasound to find endometriosis on pelvic ligaments
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study uses a special ultrasound to look for endometriosis on the uterosacral ligaments, which are small bands in the pelvis. It may help diagnose milder forms of endometriosis more accurately before surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 study looks at how endometriosis (a condition where tissue similar to the womb lining grows outside the womb) appears on ultrasound and how it relates to certain biological markers. If you are already scheduled for endometriosis surgery, the study will use ultrasound images to learn more about your condition and possibly improve future diagnoses.
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 study uses artificial intelligence to make ultrasound scans more accurate for diagnosing conditions like endometriosis and other uterine problems. If you're planning fertility treatment or surgery, this could help doctors find issues earlier.
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 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.
