Area of Science:

Neonatal surgery
Pediatric gynecology
Congenital abnormalities

Background:

Neonatal uterine prolapse is an exceptionally rare condition.
It is frequently linked to congenital spinal defects.
Simple reduction methods are often ineffective.

Purpose of the Study:

To introduce a novel surgical technique for neonatal uterine prolapse.
To evaluate the efficacy of purse-string suturing in repositioning the prolapsed uterus.
To prevent potential complications associated with uterine prolapse in newborns.

Main Methods:

Presentation of a new purse-string suturing technique.
Application of the technique in a neonatal case of uterine prolapse.
Focus on anatomical restoration and complication avoidance.

Keywords:
