Abstract
Maldevelopment of the Müllerian duct system may result in various urogenital anomalies including didelphic uterus with a hypoplastic cervix and obstructed hemivagina. We report a patient with this anomaly who was treated by laparoscopic hemi-hysterectomy and hysteroscopic resection of hemivagina. A 17 year old patient who had complained of vaginal pus-like discharge on and off for 1 year was diagnosed by MRI to have a double uterus with obstructed right hemivagina and ipsilateral renal agenesis. After hysteroscopic identification of hypoplasia of the right uterine cervix, laparoscopic resection of the right uterus and right Fallopian tube and hysteroscopically assisted resection of the vaginal septa were performed successfully. From our experience, combined laparoscopy and hysteroscopy may be an efficacious alternative in the management and diagnosis of Müllerian anomalies.
