Abstract

Introduction: A unicornuate uterus with a noncommunicating rudimentary horn is a rare congenital uterine malformation that causes lower abdominal pain and dysmenorrhea due to endometriosis and uterine hematoma. We encountered a case of a unicornuate uterus with a noncommunicating rudimentary horn that was safely treated through laparoscopic removal of the rudimentary horn. The treatment strategy was determined following evaluation of preoperative 3D-reconstructed computed tomography (CT) images.
