Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are women aged 18 and older with deep endometriotic nodules affecting the sigmoid colon or rectum.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients under 18, those with inflammatory bowel disease, or individuals who have had previous pelvic radiotherapy may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
The TrEnd trial collects data from women undergoing segmental sigmoid colon or rectal resection due to deep endometriosis. This observational study aims to compile a large series of cases treated with standardized surgical techniques to evaluate complications and long-term outcomes. By analyzing these cases, the study seeks to improve understanding of surgical interventions for this condition.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance surgical outcomes and quality of life for women suffering from deep endometriosis.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown success in evaluating surgical outcomes for deep endometriosis, making this approach both relevant and necessary.
