Case report: A novel surgical approach to obstructed hemiuterus: sonographically guided hysteroscopic correction
Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Ha'Emek Medical Centre, Afula, and the Rappaport School of Medicine, TechnionIsrael Institute of Technology, Haifa, Israel
Unilateral obstruction of a duplicate uterus is very rare. The current recommendation for its correction involves transmural incision of the uterine muscle. A method is presented here that was successfully applied in one patient suffering from this anomaly, using sonographically guided hysteroscopy. This method obviated the need for an extensive operation.
Key words: corrective surgery/Müllerian anomalies/ultrasonography
