Acute puerperal inversion of the uterus is considered to be rare. In one institution there were nine cases during an 11-year period, a rate of one for every 2176 vaginal deliveries. Analysis of these cases failed to identify any contributing factors occurring during the first or second stage of labour. Six cases were directly attributable to failure to administer an oxytocic preparation or, particularly, failure to await uterine contraction before attempting to expel the placenta by fundal pressure or cord traction. Although active management of the third stage of labour may reduce the incidence of postpartum hemorrhage, incomplete application of its principles is extremely hazardous. Immediate uterine replacement was efficacious in seven cases, but the inadvisability of removing the placenta prior to replacement was demonstrated.
