Laparoscopic Resection of a Rudimentary Uterine Horn Identified after an Incomplete Therapeutic Abortion

Our patient is a 21 year old G1P0 who presented with bleeding and pain after a therapeutic abortion and was found to have retained products of conception. An ultrasound also showed a complex left adnexal mass. After her dilation and curettage, she had a diagnostic laparoscopy and was noted to have a left rudimentary uterine horn. In this video, we review the anatomy of this anomaly and demonstrate our technique for laparoscopic removal of the rudimentary horn and associated fallopian tube. To delineate the anatomy, ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging, and diagnostic hysteroscopy and laparoscopy were used.
