title: [Laparoscopic-assisted replacement of inverted puerperal uterus: a case report and brief review of the literature].
abstract: Chronic inversion of the uterus is a serious obstetric complication often requiring laparotomy as manual replacement alone usually fails. We report on the successful laparoscopic-assisted replacement of a chronically inverted puerperal uterus on the 11th day post partum. The scientific literature back to the 19th century is briefly discussed.
