Recap
• Non-puerperal uterine inversion accounts for 16% of cases of uterine inversion1.
• Causes of non-peurperal uterine inversion: Uterine leiomyoma (80-85%) Endometrial polyps Other uterine neoplasm e.g endometrial CA, leiomyosarcoma, rhabdomyosarcoma. Ovarian tumour (very rare)2

Examination
• Palor• May present in shock (hypotension, tachycardia, bradycardia)
• Neurogenic• Hypovolaemic
• Abdominal tenderness• Absence of uterine fundus on bimanual palpation (rectoabdominal)• Lump in the vagina• Usually bleeds readily on palpation
****A high index of suspicion is required to make a prompt diagnosis

Investigations
• FBC, E/U/Cr• Urinalysis + m/c/s• USS• MRI• CT
*Diagnosis is usually based on clinical symptoms, but if not obvious, then USS, MRI

REPOSITIONING OF INVERTED UTERUS
• MANUAL REDUCTION.
• Sterile procedure.
• Form a fist or grab the uterus and push it through the cervix of a lax uterus towards the umbilicus to its normal position.
• Use the other hand to support the uterus. (Johnson maneuver)4

• Use of tocolytics to allow uterine relaxation.
• Nitroglycerin (0.25-0.5 mg) intravenously over 2 minutes.
• Terbutaline 0.1-0.25mg slowly intravenously.
• Magnesium sulphate 4-6 g intravenously over 20 minutes.
• Use of general anaesthesia: halothane.

O’SULLIVAN HYDROSTATIC METHOD.5
• Done if initial replacement is unsuccessful• Patient in lithotomy or Tredenleburg position.• Run copious amounts of warmed irrigation fluid into the
vagina (by gravity or pressure) through a wide bore giving set.
• Fluid escape is prevented by blocking the introitus by using the labia and operator’s hand.
• The fluid distend the vagina, relieves the mild cervical constriction and result in correction or replacement of the inverted uterus.
• If unsuccessful, repeat or consider surgical management.5O’Sullivan J. Acute inversion of the uterus. Br J Obstet Gynecol 1945; 2: 282-283

NEW TECHNIQUE (Ogueh and Ayida)6
• A modified form of the O’Sullivan technique• Attach the IV tubing to silicone cup used in vacuum
extraction.• place the cup in the vagina, an excellent seal is created
(as against the assistant’s hand in O’Sullivan’s).

Newer techniques
Majd et al 7 and Azubuike et al 8 have separately described successes with the use of SOS Bakri balloon catheter, and Rusch balloon catheter respectively to create hydrostatic pressure.• Used when the placenta is already separated• An additional advantage is that after repositioning the uterus, the balloon will helo to
prevent re-inversion and reduce postpartum haemorrhage.

Rusch balloon catheter

AFTER REPOSITIONING
• Remove the placenta manually if necessary
*** The placenta should only be removed after repositioning of the uterus and complete correction of the inversion to avoid shock and torrential bleeding
• Discontinue uterine relaxant/general anaesthesia.
• Start infusion of oxytocin or ergot alkaloids
• Continue fluid and blood replacement
• Bimanual uterine compression and massage are maintained until the uterus is well contracted and hemorrhage is ceased.
![Page 22: Non-Pueperal Uterine Prolapse](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022042818/55c36570bb61eb947e8b46a7/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
After repositioning
• Antibiotics
• Adequate analgesics.
• Oxytocics\ergot are continued for at least 24 hrs.
• Monitor closely after replacement to avoid re-inversion

MANAGEMENT OF CHRONIC UTERINE INVERSION
Surgical intervention.
Abdominal routeHuntington’s procedureHaultain's procedure
Vaginal routeSpinelliKaustner
![Page 24: Non-Pueperal Uterine Prolapse](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022042818/55c36570bb61eb947e8b46a7/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
• Chronic uterine inversion usually results in formation of dense constriction ring, progressive edema and tissue necrosis, thus the uterus cannot be reverted by vaginal manipulation.
• Surgery is usually required
Abdominal route• Huntington’s procedure• Haultain's procedure
Vaginal route• Spinelli• Kaustner
![Page 25: Non-Pueperal Uterine Prolapse](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022042818/55c36570bb61eb947e8b46a7/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Surgical Management • Depends on the
• preoperative diagnosis,• stage of the inversion (e.g. stage 1 can afford easy repositioning
of the fundus)• Extent of uterine necrosis• the age of the patient• .reproductive desire of the patient• Skill of the attendant
• Abdo or vag hysterectomy with BSO is recommended for benign cases if childbearing is not an issue.
• For associated malignancy, abdo hysterectomy and staging biopsies is indicated.

HUNTINGTON PROCEDURE 9
• Make an abdominal incision• Locate the cup of the uterus
formed by the inversion• Dilate the constricting cervical
ring digitally• Stepwise traction on the funnel
of the inverted uterus or the round ligament is given with Allis forceps
• Reapplied progressively as fundus emerges

Haultain’s Procedure 10
• Incision of the constricting cervical ring posteriorly • traction on the round ligament for the replacement of uterus• repair of incision per abdomen; incision closed in 2 layers.

Vaginal RouteThe Spinelli’s operation
• involves dissection of the bladder from the inverted uterus. • A midline split is made in the cervix and it is carefully
separated from the bladder. • The anterior wall of the everted uterus is split. • By pressure with the operator’s index fingers and thumbs
the uterus is turned outside in. • The myometrium is reapproximated by two layers of running
suture, and the serosal surface by a single layer. • The vaginal skin is reapproximated with interrupted sutures,
as is the full thickness of the cervix.

Vaginal Route
The Kustner’s operation
• Involves opening the posterior cul-de-sac • Incision of the cervix and posterior wall of the uterus• thumb pressure along the sides of the uterus produce reversion• Interrupted sutures are used to close the incisions and the uterus
replaced in the pelvic cavity. • Closure of the colpotomy.

Hysterectomy
Indicated for:
• Failure of conservative surgery
• Family is completed
• sepsis

The morbidity and mortality associated with uterine inversion correlate with • the degree of hemorrhage, • the rapidity of diagnosis, • and the effectiveness of treatment.

Summary of Surgical modalities for non-puerperal uterine inversion
• Vaginal removal of the tumor
• Reduction of the inversion
• + Hysterectomy (if indicated)

Increased risk of c-section in subsequent delivery.
Chronic pelvic pain -> if chronic inversion is not treated.

Conclusion
Though non-puerperal uterine inversion is uncommon, the few cases will still have to be managed without prior experience. High index of suspicion for the diagnosis and clear knowledge about gynaecological surgery will permit a successful outcome.
