Ultrasound methods for bowel endometriosis during surgery
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman aged 18 to 55.

- You are scheduled for laparoscopic or robotic surgery to treat endometriosis.
- You can and are willing to give written consent to take part.
- You have not had previous bowel surgery for endometriosis and do not have active inflammatory bowel disease.

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 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 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 trial tests a new surgical approach using small incisions and cameras to treat endometriosis affecting the bowel. The goal is to improve bowel function and quality of life for women with this painful condition.
This trial compares robotic surgery and standard laparoscopic surgery for people with deep endometriosis seen on MRI. It aims to see which approach helps symptoms better or with fewer problems after surgery.
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.
