Abstract
Study Objective
The purpose of this video is to present a case of an Accessory Cavitated Uterine Malformation.
Design
Video footage illustrating the surgical removal of a uterine accessory cavity.
Setting
Tertiary referral center.
Patients or Participants
A 19 yo gravida 0 who presented with pelvic pain for several years, worse with menses. A pre-operative pelvic ultrasound suggested a degenerating myoma measuring 2.8cm as the cause of her pelvic pain. Pathology confirmed presence of endometrial glands within muscle cells.
Interventions
Robotic assisted laparoscopic removal of accessory cavity. This involved injecting diluted vasopressin to the base of the accessory mass for vasoconstriction prior to incision and dissection, and suture of defect.
Measurements and Main Results
Resolution of pelvic pain in the patient 2 months post-operative
Conclusion
Accessory Cavitated Uterine Malformation is an unclassified Mullerian anomaly of unknown true incidence. Surgical Excision can provide resolution of symptoms of pelvic pain.
