Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study investigates the effectiveness of intraoperative transvaginal and endorectal ultrasound in the surgical treatment of bowel deep infiltrating endometriosis. It aims to improve surgical outcomes by providing real-time imaging that helps assess the depth and extent of lesions, thereby guiding surgical decisions. Participants will undergo health and pain assessments before and after surgery to evaluate the impact of these techniques on their quality of life and postoperative pain management. The study seeks to enhance surgical precision and minimize unnecessary resections of healthy tissue.
