Abstract

Abstract : Purpose of review: This review discusses current diagnosis, management and outcomes of obstructive anomalies of the gynecologic tract. Recent findings: In this review, we will discuss the clinical presentation of obstructive anomalies, surgical management and reproductive outcomes following surgical intervention. Summary: Identification of obstructive anomalies of the gynecologic tract is crucial when evaluating patients presenting with or without menses and cyclical pain. Surgical management is often the preferred modality for treatment, although menstrual suppression is recommended in certain circumstances.
