Abstract
Acute puerperal inversion of the uterus is an uncommon but potentially fatal obstetric complication. In the 15 year period ending December 31, 1974, 11 inversions have been managed at the University of Virginia Hospital. All were recognized immediately and manually replaced and there was no significant postpartum morbidity. Successful management appears to depend largely upon prompt recognition, which can be achieved by routine postpartum examination of the vagina and cervix and manual exploration of the uterus.Keywords
