Arm 1
Experimental
HIFU (Focal One®) Treatment
Subjects harboring an isolated recto-sigmoid deep invasive endometriosis (DIE) lesion with a persistence of symptoms despite hormonal treatment will be installed on the Focal One® device to: Evaluate its ability to locate and assess the volume of the endometriosic lesion Treat the targeted lesion by HIFU energy application. Real-time guided ultrasonography will be used to determine the location of the endometriosic nodule. Patients will fill-out questionnaires on gynecological and intestinal symptoms and on quality of life before treatment and 1 and 6 months after HIFU. Imaging follow-up scans will be organized at 1 and 6 months and by a pelvic MRI scan at 3/6 months.
