[Uterine retroversion. A simple surgical cure]

In 20% of the cases, painful symptoms which cannot be dismissed in general practice are experienced by women with uterine retrodeviation. The technique described here is based on anatomical reduction of Douglas' pouch with restoration of tension in the uterosacral ligaments. It is simple and rapid as expected for a minor anatomical defect. The creation of two perpendicular peritoneo-ligamentous planes ensures its solidity. The effectiveness and safety of this technique has been confirmed by a series of more than 70 patients 50% of whom were examined at regular intervals for more than 5 years after surgery.
