Abstract
Surgical intervention in cases of mullerian anomalies is controversial , The general consensus in cases of rudimentary horns with a functiona l endometrium is to remove them. We present a case of laparoscopic rem oval of a rudimentary horn. Lateral control of vessels is quite easy t o perform using an endoscopic stapler, Separation of the rudimentary h orn from the uterus was accomplished with unipolar cautery and scissor s, This report confirms the role of laparoscopy in the management of a unicornuate uterus with a rudimentary horn.
