Abstract
This report describes a new procedure for laparoscopic treatment of non-com municating rudimentary uterine horn when attached to the contralateral unic ornuate uterus by a band of tissue. A retrograde dissection with primary bi polar coagulation and section of the band of tissue enables primary occlusi on of the main blood supply, In our opinion, this new approach may prevent bleeding during laparoscopic dissection of the rudimentary horn and may avo id myometrial injury of the resting unicornuate uterus.
