ABSTRACT:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Introduction: <\/strong>The aim of\u00a0 present study is to evaluate \u00a0the microscopic structure of the round ligament of\u00a0 uterus at the\u00a0 uterine cornu to examine the changes in the structure in different age groups i.e.adult\u00a0 females in reproductive age group, pregnancy & menopause.<\/p>\n

Materials and Methods: <\/strong>Twenty two\u00a0 round ligaments of uterus (25-70 yrs) were taken for the study of the microscopic structure at the uterine cornu. The specimens were collected from adult females of reproductive age group, pregnant females and menopausal females. Microscopic structure was\u00a0 studied under light microscope using haematoxylin and eosin and Van\u00a0 Gieson\u2019s stain was used to differentiate muscle from fibrous tissue.<\/p>\n

Results:<\/strong> The round ligament\u00a0 showed changes at the two ends of age spectrum chosen for the study (25-70 yrs). In adult females of\u00a0 reproductive age group (25-40 yr old) it was predominantly\u00a0 muscular and the\u00a0 smooth muscle of the ligament\u00a0 was found to be\u00a0 continuous with\u00a0 that of\u00a0 the myometrium.\u00a0 In pregnant females marked hypertrophied smooth muscle bundles with increased\u00a0 collagen bundles and vascularity were seen. In menopausal age group, tendency towards fibrosis was\u00a0 seen\u00a0 and\u00a0 blood\u00a0 vessels were reduced in number.<\/p>\n

Conclusion:<\/strong> Variations\u00a0\u00a0 seen in the\u00a0 ligament in\u00a0 different age groups and continuation of the smooth\u00a0 muscle of the round ligament with the myometrium at the uterine cornu may explain the role played by it in keeping the uterus in\u00a0 anteverted\u00a0 position. Role of the ligament would become clearer\u00a0 through a further study of\u00a0 microscopic structure of a larger sample size including different age groups.<\/p>\n

Key words: <\/strong>Round ligament,\u00a0 Uterus, Histology.<\/p>\n
