Read the detailed description
All women (n=56) who had undergone CO2 laser laparoscopic radical excision of deep infiltrating endometriosis with active involvement of colorectal surgeon and/or urologist were selected retrospectively from the list of all patients (n=more than 2000) operated at the Leuven University Fertility Centre (LUFc) between September 1996 and July 2004.
All 56 multidisciplinary operated patients were asked to complete the Oxford Endometriosis Quality of Life questionnaire, a sexual activity questionnaire and visual analogue scales (VAS) for dysmenorroe, chronic pelvic pain and deep dyspareunia, to compare their status before surgery and at the moment of the evaluation (January 2005).

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
multidisciplinary laparoscopyProcedure or surgery
Multidisciplinary (with active involvement of the colorectal surgeon/urologist) fertility-sparing CO2 laser laparoscopic radical excision of deep infiltrating endometriosis.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
An observational study of Endometriosis, run by University Hospital, Gasthuisberg at 1 site in Belgium.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Belgium. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
complication rate, cumulative recurrence and cumulative fertility rate, pain, quality of life and sexual satisfaction (time frame: median follow-up: 29 months (range 6 - 76 months)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 20 Feb 2009.
