In brief
This study evaluates whether the ASRM Mullerian Anomalies Classification system adequately describes complex gynecologic anatomy in pediatric cloacal malformation patients. By comparing preoperative imaging reports with intraoperative findings, the research identifies gaps in current terminology and advocates for classification expansion to improve surgical planning.
Written by the GCMD Library team from the article.
There is wide variation in the language used to describe Mullerian structures. To standardize terminology, the American Society of Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) created the Mullerian Anomalies Classification (MAC) in 2021. The objective of this study was to evaluate the applicability of the MAC nomenclature to pediatric patients with cloaca.
