Laparoscopic management of an 11-week rudimentary uterine horn pregnancy using extracorporeal Roeder knot to secure the dilated vascular pedicle

---

Abstract Pregnancy in a uterine rudimentary horn carries a high risk of uterine rupture with severe and potentially lethal intra-abdominal haemorrhage. There is now growing evi-dence that this condition can be safely managed by minimally invasive surgery. We report a case of an unruptured 11-week rudimentary horn pregnancy that was diagnosed and treated laparoscopically. We have performed a literature review using PubMed, Embase and Cochrane Database of Systematic Re-views to identify relevant cases and draw conclusions with regards to their management. We have collated 20 published cases of rudimentary horn pregnancies that were managed by laparoscopy. The surgical technique appears consistent among these cases with few variations. In advanced gestations, feti-cide may need to be performed. Morcellation has been shown to be possible without compromising patient safety from trophoblast spill. The possibility of uncommon presentations such as duplicated or absent ureter should be taken into account. Extracorporeal Roeder knot can be used safely to secure unusually dilated vascular pedicles. Overall, laparos-copy appears to be as safe as and potentially superior to laparotomy for the management of rudimentary horn pregnancies
