Summary

This study tests whether a specific ultrasound measurement can reliably detect superficial endometriosis on the uterosacral ligaments. Researchers will compare ultrasound findings with laparoscopic surgery results in 64 women undergoing gynecological surgery. If a clear cutoff thickness is found, it could lead to a non-surgical diagnostic tool.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to: If successful, this could establish a reliable ultrasound cutoff to diagnose superficial endometriosis without surgery, enabling earlier and less invasive detection.
What could go wrong: This is an observational study with only 64 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. The ultrasound cutoff may not be accurate enough to replace laparoscopy in practice.
