Abstract

Infertile patients who have undergone unilateral oophorectomies or salpingectomies or those with uterine anomalies may require juxtaposition of a remaining fallopian tube and contralateral ovary. A 28-year-old woman with previous left oophorectomy for endometriosis was found to have a left unicornuate uterus during subsequent infertility evaluation. Laparotomy and resection of a right rudimentary horn and juxtaposition of the left fallopian tube and the right ovary was performed. A large endometrioma was also resected from the right ovary. The patient conceived during the second month postoperatively. A simple procedure for juxtaposing a contralateral fallopian tube and ovary is described. Careful evaluation of the pelvic organs should be performed before removal of an ovary in a young woman.
