Abstract | ||||
Obstructive Müllerian anomalies (OMAs) are among the most challenging conditions encountered by obstetricians and gynecologists. Embryological disturbances of the normal developmental process of female genital system can lead to a wide group of abnormalities, some of which are easy to treat whilst others are so sophisticated and so demanding in either in diagnosis or their surgical managements. Recurrent cyclic pains or progressive dysmenorrhea are the common theme of the clinical presentation of OMAs. Such characteristic symptoms represent important diagnostic clues for early diagnosis of OMAs. Early diagnosis of OMAs and prompt surgical correction is of a great value in obtaining the dramatic relive of painful symptoms in addition to avoiding the consequences of long-standing retrograde menstruation that represents a real threat to the future natural fertility of those young females. This article highlights briefly the updates of both instant and interval surgical managements of OMAs. For more details the reader can resort to the relevant references where the details of individual surgical approaches are adequately described. | ||||
