Case description

Good reproductive outcomes have been reported after hysteroscopic treatment of uterine isthmocele. However, laparoscopy has the advantage over hysteroscopy of allowing thorough repair of the uterine defect, thus restoring a normal myometrial thickness. Therefore, as demonstrated in this case, a laparoscopic approach might be considered to be the procedure of choice for the repair of a large uterine isthmocele with extreme thinning of the residual myometrium.
