Ultrasound in the OR: a new eye for endometriosis surgery?
NCT ID NCT05499884
First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether using an ultrasound during surgery helps doctors decide the best way to remove endometriosis from the rectum. Ten women with deep pelvic endometriosis took part. Doctors performed an ultrasound before and after shaving off the diseased tissue to see if it changed their surgical approach, such as removing a larger piece of the rectum.
