deep pelvic endometriosis, rectal shaving segmental digestive resection, endovaginal ultrasound

Brief summary

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

Interventions

Endovaginal ultrasound will be performed in the operating room by the radiology team to: 1. to confirm the operative indication for a rectal shaving ; 2. to confirm the complete removal of the lesion

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Questioning the choice of surgical technique (performing a more complete procedure, such as discoid or segmental resection, immediately or after shaving)during the procedure/surgeryif endovaginal ultrasound performed in the operating room (before or after shaving) modifies the choice of surgical technique in at least 2 cases out of 10, the value of endovaginal ultrasound in the operating room in the management of rectal damage by shaving will be validated

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
anatomo-pathological analysis of the operating piece.during the procedure/surgeryThe anatomo-pathological data will be available if the choice of surgical technique is modified following one of the endovaginal ultrasound scans carried out in the operating theatre - and therefore if a discoid or segmental resection is carried out. By confirming damage to the rectal mucosa and/or stenosis of the digestive lumen, these anatomo-pathological analyses will make it possible to validate the questioning of the choice of surgical technique. This information is thus complementary to the main evaluation criterion, by providing an external validity criterion.
