Abstract |
Background |
Complex female genital tract malformations account for 1.2% of all female genitourinary malformations. Although exceedingly rare, they can cause severe gynecologic symptoms in young women and lead to fertility problems.
Case |
We present the case of a 13-year-old girl with primary amenorrhea referred for cyclic abdominal lower pain and menouria. Detailed diagnostics revealed uterus didelphys, transverse vaginal septum, and bilateral vesicovaginal fistulas. Laparoscopic left hemi-hysterectomy and salpingectomy were performed. The vesicovaginal fistula on the right side was excised, and the proximal vagina was anastomosed with the distal dimple. Since the operation, the patient has been pain-free and menstruating regularly from the right uterus.
Summary and Conclusion |
Preservation of the uterus should be considered in any case of complex female genital tract malformation and, as successful laparoscopic treatment advocates, a minimally invasive approach is feasible.
