[The significance of sonography in the early puerperium]
620 single measurements of the length of the uterus were performed on 220 women in the early post partum period. Our results show that post partum involution progresses continuously. An exact evaluation of the length of the uterus can be made only by sonography; palpation is influenced by the angle in the uterine axis. Of equal clinical importance is the sonographic examination of the uterine wall, the contents of the uterine cavity and of other structures of the true pelvis.
