Uterine massage was performed in order to promote uterine contractions; however, intractable bleeding from the placenta bed was uncontrollable and an intra-uterine pack with sterilized gauze was applied (Fig. 1A). The stump was then sutured (Fig. 1B). Resection of the rudimentary horn was completed successfully (Fig. 1C). A pregnancy in a non-communicating rudimentary horn was confirmed after the operation (Fig. 1D).
