[The contribution of ultrasonic echography in the study of uterine involution (author's transl)].
We have measured 3 diameters in the uterus in 50 women after delivery by ultrasound scanning. A fourth diameter as well as the formula for the volume of the uterus was mathematically calculated. The computer was used to carry out the calculations. The height of the fundus of the uterus could be compared to the ultrasonic measurements. An index for involution was calculated. Typical forms were found for variations in diameters and uterine volumes according to whether the women were primiparous or multiparous. All the same, there was no difference in the mean values between the groups. Only the age of the women seemed to us to be a specially important parameter.
