Two cases of broadly attached rudimentary uterine horns with large ovarian endometriomas were successfully treated with laparoscopic coring-type dissection, preserving the unicornuate uterus and ipsilateral ovarian function.

Abstract

Rudimentary horn of the uterus is a rare congenital malformation that is characterized by significant anatomic variability. We report two cases involving women who presented with a broadly attached rudimentary horn and large ovarian endometriomas that were innovatively treated by laparoscopic coring-type dissection of the rudimentary horn of the uterus. This novel surgical approach ensured the integrity of the myometrium of the unicornuate uterus and avoided uterine rupture during pregnancy and ipsilateral ovarian function impairment.
