Laparoscopic management of unicornuate uterus with rudimentary horn and unilateral extensive endometriosis: case report

Hum Reprod. 1990 Oct;5(7):819-20. doi: 10.1093/oxfordjournals.humrep.a137190.

Abstract

One case of unicornuate uterus with a cavitary rudimentary horn and unilateral extensive endometriosis was treated by laparoscopy, after three months of treatment with GnRH analogues. The rudimentary horn and the corresponding tube were removed. The post-operative course was uneventful. Laparoscopic radical management of this malformation reduces both peritoneal damage and economic cost.
