A tubal remnant was identified in 29 of 40 (73%) uterine cornual sites. The median length of residual tube was 6 mm (range 3-21 mm). Each tubal remnant had some preserved columnar epithelium. The median surface area of tubal remnant was 14 mm(2) (range 2-117 mm(2)). Prior adnexectomy did not affect the frequency of having a tubal remnant or the length of remnant tube. Neither menopausal status, indication for hysterectomy nor type of hysterectomy correlated with presence of residual tube.
