About

The purpose of this study is to compare postoperative pain following COX-2 and prostanoids expression in women who underwent laparoscopic surgery for female genital disease in order to evaluate the effect of COX-2 on local inflammation, COX-2 and prostanoids expression followed by exposure time to carbon dioxide(CO2) gas, and degree of postoperative pain.

Full description

In women who underwent laparoscopic surgery for female genital disease, the effect of COX-2 on local inflammation was assessed by randomization, using the COX-2 inhibitor celecoxib and placebo, comparative evaluation of expression of COX-2 and prostanoids by pre/postoperative peritoneal biopsy and postoperative pain depending on gas exposure time
