title: Purse string suturing in a neonatal prolapsed uterus.
abstract: Prolapsed uterus in a newborn is a rare condition. We present our purse-string suturing as a new technique to restore it to its normal position to avoid complications. Prolapse is usually associated with congenital spinal defects, and is often resistant to simple reduction.
