Metroplastic Surgery of Robert′s Uterus: A Case Report and Literature Review

doi:10.12280/gjfckx.20230388

Abstract

Abstract:

Robert′s uterus is a rare uterine malformation that often manifests as abdominal pain and dysmenorrhea, making it difficult to distinguish from residual horn uterus and bicorner uterus. This paper retrospectively analyzes the diagnosis and treatment process of a patient with renal deficiency and anal atresia. The patient underwent preoperative three-dimensional ultrasound imaging and magnetic resonance imaging to provide information on the internal and external morphology of the uterus, which helps to develop a reasonable surgical plan and actively communicate with doctors and patients. Laparoscopic examination combined with hysteroscopic oblique hysterectomy was used for precise diagnosis and treatment during the surgery, and transabdominal ultrasound monitoring was used. Postoperative prevention of recurrence was achieved through barrier method. Through comprehensive management mode, accurate diagnosis and satisfactory results of metroplastic surgery were achieved.

Key words: Robert′s uterus, Congenital abnormalities, Metroplasty, Imaging, three-dimensional, Hysteroscopy and laparoscopic surgery
