Diagnostic and surgical approaches to congenital uterine anomalies for the minimally invasive gynecologic surgeon.

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Congenital uterine anomalies (CUAs) impact the physical and psychosocial wellbeing of affected patients. Managing these conditions depends on the clinical scenario, and in some cases, can involve the use of minimally invasive surgical techniques. The purpose of this review is to provide an update of the diagnosis, perioperative considerations, and treatment of CUAs.

RECENT FINDINGS: The American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) updated the guidelines for classification of CUAs to provide practitioners with a standardized classification system and have created an interactive tool designed for provider use.

SUMMARY: Gynecologic surgeons are likely to encounter CUAs during their career. This review provides updated guidance for the workup and treatment of CUAs.
