Ultrasound during surgery for deep endometriosis
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman between 20 and 60 years old.
- You have a deep endometriosis nodule in the rectum or sigmoid colon that is at least 1 mm but less than 20 mm thick.
- You and your doctor have agreed that surgery is needed.
- You have not had major bowel surgery before, and you do not have inflammatory bowel disease, cancer, or severe pelvic disease.
- You are able to fill out study questionnaires.

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 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 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 studies whether a computer (deep neural network) can better identify endometriosis in people with long-lasting pelvic pain using information from surgery. It may help doctors sort who has endometriosis more accurately when surgery is already planned.
This study looks at whether surgery can help reduce pelvic pain caused by advanced endometriosis. It aims to predict who will get the most benefit from the operation.
This study observes women with deep endometriosis that affects the colon or rectum to better understand the condition and improve treatment. Your participation will help researchers learn more about this type of endometriosis.
