Abstract

Products of the cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase pathways of arachidonic acid metabolism were estimated in the cul-de-sac fluid from patients with endometriosis, pelvic adhesions and normal laparoscopic examinations, with and without chronic pelvic pain. No correlation between the symptoms, underlying diagnoses, and the concentrations of eicosanoids were observed.
