    Area of Science:

    • Obstetrics and Gynecology
    • Reproductive Medicine

    Background:

    • Acute puerperal inversion of the uterus is a rare obstetric complication.
    • It can be life-threatening if not managed promptly.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the management of uterine inversion at a single institution.
    • To identify key factors for successful outcomes.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 11 cases of uterine inversion managed between 1959 and 1974.
    • All cases involved immediate manual replacement of the inverted uterus.

    Main Results:

    • No significant postpartum morbidity was observed in the 11 managed cases.
    • Successful management was achieved in all instances.

    Conclusions:

    • Prompt recognition and immediate manual replacement are crucial for successful management of uterine inversion.
    • Routine postpartum examination, including vaginal and cervical assessment and uterine exploration, facilitates early diagnosis.
