    Robotic-assisted intraoperative ultrasound offers a novel technique for the precise excision of Accessory Cavitated Uterine Malformations (ACUM).

  • 2

    ACUM is a rare congenital anomaly characterized by a noncommunicating accessory cavity within a normal uterus, affecting primarily young women.

  • 3

    The surgical approach minimizes trauma to healthy myometrium, optimizing reproductive outcomes and establishing a standard for minimally invasive management.

  • 4

    Postoperative recovery was uneventful, with the patient experiencing complete symptom resolution and no recurrence of pelvic pain after treatment.

  • 5

    ACUM remains underdiagnosed due to its unclassified status in current classification systems, highlighting the need for increased awareness and accurate diagnosis.
