Subacute uterine inversion--an interesting encounter.
Although a rare acute obstetrical emergency, it is even rarer to see a case of subacute uterine inversion. It was quite challenging to manage this case. A severely anaemic patient with history of home delivery 5 days back came with subacute uterine inversion. In subacute variety, tissue oedema and infection makes the correction very difficult. She was managed with blood transfusion and then operated upon after opening the abdomen. The surgery was done without cutting the constriction ring or opening the uterus.
