title: Ultrasound assessment of puerperal uterine involution.
abstract: Echographic measurement of the early postpartum uterus was performed, mainly to investigate whether involution patterns correlate with parity, the administration of oxytocin during labor, and lactation. Our findings suggest that these factors do not have a marked effect on uterine involution.
