Objective:
To determine the feasibility of laparoscopic metroplasty in the treatment of bicornuate and didelphic uteri.
Design:
Case report.
Setting:
University and private hospitals.
Patient(S):
Four women with a diagnosis of double uterine cavity (two bicornuate and two didelphic uteri) with a history of two recurrent spontaneous abortions at less than 5 months of pregnancy.
Intervention(S):
Laparoscopic metroplasty with diagnostic hysteroscopy was performed for the unification of the uterus. Second-look laparoscopy and hysteroscopy was performed about 3 months later.
Main Outcome Measure(S):
Evaluation of the uterine compliance to high intrauterine pressure and presence of adhesions in the pelvic and uterine cavities.
Result(S):
In all four patients, laparoscopic metroplasty resulted in a unified uterus with a good cavity and tolerance to high intrauterine pressure. Minimal pelvic adhesions were noted in the two patients at the second surgery.
Conclusion(S):
This new technique of laparoscopic metroplasty is an acceptable alternative for abdominal metroplasty, with minimal adhesion formation.
