Sumario:CASE DESCRIPTION: Three cases of patients diagnosed with Hemi-uterus with non-communicating functional rudimentary cavity are reported. CLINICAL FINDINGS: Adolescent patients with the presence of disabling pelvic pain during menstrual periods, in addition to depressive states and functional disability secondary to pain. TREATMENT AND OUTCOME: Reconstruction of Hemi-uterus with non-communicating functional rudimentary cavity using a microsurgical technique, without the need for non-communicating horn resection. The patients were assessed at the 1st, third, and sixth months, showing a marked improvement in their dysmenorrhea. In addition, there was an improvement in the depressive state; there was no change in the volume of her menstrual bleeding, and one of these patients achieved pregnancy with normal prenatal control and cesarean delivery, obtaining a full-term newborn without complications. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Description of a novel microsurgical technique for the management of the hemi-uterus with a non-communicating functional rudimentary cavity, which could benefit not only the reduction of associated symptoms but could also become an alternative to improve fertility in these patients.
