Uterus didelphys (sometimes also uterus didelphis) represents a uterine malformation where the uterus is present as a paired organ when the embryogenetic fusion of the Müllerian ducts fails to occur. As a result, there is a double uterus with two separate cervices, and often a double vagina as well. Each uterus has a single horn linked to the ipsilateral fallopian tube that faces its ovary.
In non human species (e.g.nematodes), a didelphic genital tract may be normal rather than a malformation. Such species are described as didelphic, as opposed to monodelphic, with a single tract.
Etiology
The uterus is formed during embryogenesis by the fusion of the two paramesonephric ducts (also called Müllerian ducts). This process usually fuses the two Müllerian ducts into a single uterine body but fails to take place in these affected women who maintain their double Müllerian systems. A didelphic uterus will have a double cervix and is usually associated with a double vagina. The cause of the fusion failure is not known. Associated defects may affect the vagina, the renal system and, less commonly, the skeleton.

Uterine Didelphys & Treatment - Antai Hospitals
Uterine Didelphys is a rare congenital uterine malformation that is a result of a Mullerian Duct Development defect. It can lead to high-risks pregnancies due to the tissue ratio imbalance and limited uterine cavity volume. Here at Antai Hospital, we use laparoscopic management to conduct a uterine reconstructive surgery to restore healthy shape and volume. After surgery and recovery, patient can go on to get pregnant naturally and have fullterm pregnancies with no complications.

Uterine Didelphys and Early Miscarriage | Double Uterus | Antai Hospital
Uterus didelphys is a uterine malformation where there are two separate halves of a uterus, each with one cervix. Essentially, the women have double uteruses and double cervices, essentially 2 of each components.
Recurrent early miscarriage due to uterus didelphys results from insufficient uterine blood flow to the embryo because it has more connective tissues than muscle tissues which leads to poor uterine blood supply, adversely affecting the growth and development of the embryo during pregnancy. If left untreated, it can potentially lead to an early miscarriage or embryonic demise within the first trimester.

Uterine Didelphys, also known as a double uterus is a congenital abnormality that increases the risk of having a late miscarriage.
A typical uterus is a muscular organ that looks like an inverted pear, where the fetus develops inside the top largest and hollowed portion of the uterus. The double uterus or didelphic uterus are two separate halves of a uterus, each with one cervix. Essentially, the women have two small uteruses and two cervixes.
During pregnancy, the irregularly structured uterus may not expand fully to accommodate the growing fetus. A late miscarriage is likely to occur due to space restriction in the uterus that obstructed the baby’s growth and development.

Robotic Hysterectomy in Uterine Didelphys
This video demonstrates technique for removal of a uterine didelphys, or "double uterus". Uterine didelphys is a condition where a woman is born with two uteruses rather than one. In the normal process of embryogenesis, two halves of the reproductive and urinary tracts fuse in the center to form complete organs. When this fusion fails, mullerian defects occur. Uterine didelphys is a complete failure of fusion, resulting in two complete uteri, each with its own cervix. In some cases there can also be a septum in the vagina, leading to a double vagina as well.
This particular didelphys shows complete failure of central fusion, with very widely spaced uteri. Hysterectomy in this condition requires an expert understanding of pelvic anatomy, as many of the typical landmarks one would us...

Uterine didelphys is a complete failure of fusion, resulting in two complete uteri, each with its own cervix. In some cases there can also be a septum in the vagina, leading to a double vagina as well.
This particular didelphys shows complete failure of central fusion, with very widely spaced uteri. Hysterectomy in this condition requires an expert understanding of pelvic anatomy, as many of the typical landmarks one would use in laparoscopic hysterectomy are distorted. We also have to modify the way we use the uterine manipulator, as there are two cervices instead of one.
This particular patient was experiencing uterine pain with her menstrual cycle that was not responsive to medical therapy, necessitating hysterectomy.
She came to Dr Fogelson and NWEPS because of our reputation in surgical excellence particularly in complex cases.

Uterus didelphys (sometimes also uterus didelphis) represents a uterine malformation where the uterus is present as a paired organ when the embryogenetic fusion of the Müllerian ducts fails to occur. As a result, there is a double uterus with two separate cervices, and often a double vagina as well. Each uterus has a single horn linked to the ipsilateral fallopian tube that faces its ovary.
In non human species (e.g.nematodes), a didelphic genital tract may be normal rather than a malformation. Such species are described as didelphic, as opposed to monodelphic, with a single tract.
Etiology
The uterus is formed during embryogenesis by the fusion of the two paramesonephric ducts (also called Müllerian ducts). This process usually fuses the two Müllerian ducts into a single uterine body but fails to take place in these affected women who maintain their double Müllerian systems. A didelphic uterus will have a double cervix and is usually associated with a double vagina. The cause of the fusion failure is not known. Associated defects may affect the vagina, the renal system and, less commonly, the skeleton.
