Intraoperative transtrocar ultrasonography-guided laparoscopic surgery for an accessory and cavitated uterine mass
Accessory and cavitated uterine masses (ACUM) are cystic masses within the normal myometrium that cause dysmenorrhea. When analgesics and low-dose estrogen/progestin therapy are ineffective, excision of the ACUM is a treatment option. However, there is no clear consensus on how to reliably remove ACUM. In this study, we report a case in which ACUM was completely removed using a laparoscopic ultrasound probe.
