Surgery study aims to reduce bowel and bladder problems for women with severe endometriosis

NCT ID NCT01291576

Summary

This study compared two surgical techniques for treating deep endometriosis that grows into the rectum. Researchers wanted to know if removing a section of the colon and rectum causes more long-term bowel and bladder problems than a more conservative surgery that just removes the endometriosis nodules. Sixty women were randomly assigned to one of the two surgeries and followed for two years to track their digestive and urinary function, pain levels, and quality of life.
