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.
期刊介绍：
Laparoscopic, Endoscopic and Robotic Surgery aims to provide an academic exchange platform for minimally invasive surgery at an international level. We seek out and publish the excellent original articles, reviews and editorials as well as exciting new techniques to promote the academic development.
Topics of interests include, but are not limited to:
▪ Minimally invasive clinical research mainly in General Surgery, Thoracic Surgery, Urology, Neurosurgery, Gynecology & Obstetrics, Gastroenterology, Orthopedics, Colorectal Surgery, Otolaryngology, etc.;
▪ Basic research in minimally invasive surgery;
▪ Research of techniques and equipments in minimally invasive surgery, and application of laparoscopy, endoscopy, robot and medical imaging;
▪ Development of medical education in minimally invasive surgery.
