Feasibility and Potential Aids of Intra-operative Endo-vaginal Ultrasound When Performing Rectal Shaving for Endometriosis

The protocol of this study consists in the inclusion of patients with endometriosic rectal involvement with a scheduled intervention. An endovaginal ultrasound will be performed in the operating room by the radiology team to confirm the operative indication of rectal shaving then in a second step a second ultrasound in the operating room will confirm the complete excision of the lesion or the case will allow to perform a more complete gesture (discoid or segmental resection) if the shaving is not sufficient with ultrasound and / or macroscopically

Inclusion Criteria:

• Age >18 years
• Deep pelvic endometriosis with symptomatic rectal involvement
• With surgical indication of rectal shaving validated in "RCP" or during the pre-operative consultation by the surgeon

Exclusion Criteria:

• History of inflammatory digestive pathology
