Abstract
Congenital abnormalities of mullerian duct system can result in various urogenital anomalies, including uterus didelphys with unilateral renal agenesis. Cervical atresia is also a rare mullerian abnormality. It usually presents after the menarche with progressive pelvic pain during periods secondary to haematometra. Treatment of congenital cervical atresia remains controversial. We present our experience with treatment by pelviscopic hemihysterectomy with electric morcellator.
