Successful hemisterilization in a patient with uterus didelphus
1Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Gallivare Lasarett, Sweden.
Abstract:
Women with uterine malformations frequently present with reproductive impairment. This case addresses the opposite problem, a woman with uterus didelphus who conceived with ease. Following three consecutive cesarean sections in the left uterine horn, she was offered sterilization for medical reasons, but refused on religious grounds. As a compromise, she accepted unilateral tubal closure in order to force future pregnancies to the right uterine horn. She has now had three pregnancies with two cesarean sections on that side.
