The round ligament of the uterus is a ligament that connects the uterus to the labia majora. It originates at the junction of the uterus and uterine tube. It passes through the inguinal canal to insert at the labium majus.
The two round ligaments of uterus develop from the gubernaculum; they are the female homologue of the male gubernaculum testis.[2]
