Ultrasound may spot endometriosis without surgery

NCT ID NCT07427849

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

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.
