Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to investigate differences in protein expression profiles of blood and peritoneal fluid samples obtained from patients who do, and those who do not, have endometriosis seen during laparoscopic surgery. These profiles may include both known and novel markers for diagnosing endometriosis.
