Rabbit Uterine Horns

Rabbit uterine horns are the paired, elongated regions of the uterus in rabbits that receive embryos and provide a site for gestational development, making them useful anatomical structures in reproductive and cancer research. Their mucosal lining and underlying muscle respond to ovarian hormones, producing coordinated changes in epithelial growth, vascular support, and contractility across the reproductive cycle. In cancer research, these tissues can help investigators examine hormone-responsive cellular behavior, tissue remodeling, tumor-associated changes, and the local effects of candidate treatments in a mammalian reproductive system. Such studies connect normal uterine biology with mechanisms relevant to gynecologic disease and therapeutic development.

This video describes the technique of transferring embryos into the oviduct of a recipient female rabbit via Laparoscopy. It allows embryo remodeling in rabbits during its migration through the oviduct, eventually helping in successful implantation. This technique can also be used for stored embryos with good efficiency.
