Unicornuate Uterus Treatment: Uterine Reconstructive Surgery

A Unicornuate Uterus is a rare form of congenital uterine malformation, also known as a Mullerian Duct Abnormality. It is a result of abnormal embryological development, specifically the abnormal development of the uterus within the first trimester of the fetus, causing the fetus to develop a half-formed uterus with a single fallopian tube and ovary. In most cases, there is also a presence of an attached and much smaller rudimentary horn although it is not always necessarily the case.

Although patients who have this rare uterine malformation will not face issues conceiving, the problem lies in the sustaining of the pregnancy especially towards the 2^nd trimester onwards. Due to the limited uterine volume, there’s a high risk of leading to a pressure-induced miscarriage. In certain cases, there might also be a risk of uterine rupture if the myometrium lining is especially thin.

In Antai Hospital, we offer a highly specialized surgery known as uterine reconstructive surgery to restore your unicornuate uterine into a healthy pear-shaped uterine volume (ideal). Utilizing both laparoscopic and hysteroscopic management, the surgeon will fuse the smaller attached uterine horn into the larger unicornuate. Once fused, an intrauterine pear-shaped stent will be placed inside the cavity for 30-days. Upon recovery of 6 months, the patient will now have a healthy-shaped uterus with optimal uterine volume that is beneficial for full-term pregnancies. The patient requires no assistance in conceiving, she can do so naturally.
