J Matern Fetal Med. 1999 Jul-Aug;8(4):200-2. doi: 10.1002/(SICI)1520-6661(199907/08)8:4<200::AID-MFM13>3.0.CO;2-Q.

Abstract

A 28-year-old patient had metroplasty performed because of necrosis of a uterine fibroid. During follow-up, the left adnexa were removed because of a recurrent left ovarian cyst. The triplet gestation achieved by in vitro fertilization was reduced to twins. The living premature newborns were delivered abdominally.
