Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to get a better understanding of the clinical implications (including reproductive problems and obstetric complications), appropriate diagnostic tools and correct surgical treatment of Mullerian anomalies.
Detailed description
Mullerian anomalies are rare, therefore they are not well known and not often considered as differential diagnosis. This causes a delay in the diagnosis with risk of long lasting symptoms and adverse effects on the reproductive function. However, the diagnosis can be made more accurately with improved diagnostic tools. Moreover, minimally invasive surgery allows for preservation and potential improvement of fertility in these women. The purpose of this study is to get a better understanding of the clinical implications (including reproductive problems and obstetric complications), appropriate diagnostic tools and correct surgical treatment of Mullerian anomalies.
