What this Trial Is About
Pelvic adhesions, particularly between ovaries and pelvic sidewall, frequently complicate endometriosis surgery. Despite various interventions, no widely accepted solution exists. Small studies suggest temporary ovarian suspension may reduce adhesion formation. This technique, which temporarily elevates ovaries postoperatively, shows promise but requires further investigation to confirm its efficacy and long-term outcomes. This prospective, single-blinded, randomized controlled study compares adhesion formation in endometriosis patients at risk for ovarian adhesions. Participants are randomized to undergo laparoscopic surgery with temporary ovarian suspension or standard care without ovarian suspension. Pain and suture removal eagerness are assessed via daily questionnaires. Blinded ultrasound experts evaluate adhesions at 6 and 13 weeks postoperatively. No anti-adhesive barriers are used to minimize confounding factors
