Real-Time ultrasound during surgery may sharpen endometriosis detection
NCT ID NCT06876376
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether using ultrasound during surgery can help doctors more accurately find and treat deep endometriosis in the bowel. About 200 women with suspected bowel endometriosis will have an ultrasound probe placed in the vagina or rectum during their operation. The goal is to see if this technique improves surgical decisions and matches lab results better than standard methods.
