Summary

This study looks at two ways to measure endometriosis growths in the bowel before and during surgery. About 98 women will get both a standard vaginal ultrasound before surgery and a special ultrasound during their operation. The goal is to see if the during-surgery ultrasound gives more accurate measurements, which could help doctors plan safer surgeries and avoid removing more bowel than needed.
