LAPAROSCOPIC MANAGEMENT OF UNRUPTURED RUDIMENTARY HORN PREGNANCY

Dr Kavita S. Sambharam, Dr Anand N. Bhalerao

Abstract :

 Background:  Pregnancy in non communicating rudimentary horn of a uterus is an extremely rare form of ectopic gestation. This rare type of mullerian duct anomaly may cause many gynaecological and obstetric complications, including infertility, recurrent abortions, preterm deliveries and rupture of the uterus, especially when the pregnancy implants in the rudimentary horn carrying  grave consequences for the mother and fetus.

Case Description:  We report a case of 22 years  primigravida with unruptured left rudimentary horn ectopic gestation who underwent laparoscopic surgery for the same.

Conclusion:  Laparoscopy, in these exceptional cases is the most accurate diagnostic tool that carries significant advantages in effective surgical management, therefore avoiding laparotomy.

Clinical Significance:  Operative laparoscopy with all its advantages is an excellent alternative to laparotomy  in the surgical management of unruptured rudimentary horn pregnancy.
