Predicting the Pain Outcome of Surgery for Endometriosis
Sponsor: University of Oxford
Summary
This study aims to determine whether the investigators can predict who will get benefit in terms of their pain from surgery for more severe forms of endometriosis. The investigators will use brain imaging to explore this, as it allows meaningful results from a smaller sample of people than if questionnaires alone were relied on.

Surgical treatment of endometriosis
This is an observational study and thus the surgery performed is part of standard clinical care. The procedure will be at the discretion of the operating surgeon/endometriosis multi-disciplinary team and may include bowel resection, stoma formation, ureteric stenting/reimplantation, salpingectomy, oophorectomy or hysterectomy in addition to excision/ablation of endometriosis lesions. Information about the surgical procedure will be collected, but no planned surgical procedure will be an exclusion.
