AI Article Synopsis
- Gynaecologists should recognize rare conditions like Robert's uterus, as they may require surgical intervention for proper treatment.
- A 41-year-old mother with Robert's uterus experienced a unique late onset of symptoms, previously undergoing treatment for a related ectopic pregnancy before successfully receiving laparoscopic and hysteroscopic treatment.
- Combining laparoscopy and hysteroscopy is an effective, minimally invasive surgical approach that offers superior recovery compared to traditional open surgery for managing obstructive Mullerian anomalies.
Article Abstract
Background: Gynaecologists should be aware of a rare obstructive Mullerian duct abnormality like Robert's uterus and perform further surgery when necessary.
Case Summary: We report a 41-year-old mother of two children with Robert's uterus who was examined and treated by laparoscopy and hysteroscopy. Unlike the existing cases reported in the literature, this patient had a late onset of Robert's uterus symptoms. Due to right tubal ectopic pregnancy 3 years previously, the patient was treated with right salpingectomy and left tubal ligation but suffered aggravated left lower abdominal pain. She was examined and treated by laparoscopy and hysteroscopy, and is completely asymptomatic at 5-year follow-up.
Conclusion: The typical obstructive Mullerian abnormality requires further surgery. Combined laparoscopy and hysteroscopy is an effective, minimally invasive technique with better recovery outcomes than traditional transabdominal procedures.
