Six cases of acute puerperal inversion of the uterus are reported. In four of these, tocolytic agents were used to facilitate replacement of the inverted uterus; and in five, Prostin-15M was given after replacement. The use of tocolytics may obviate the need for general anesthesia for uterine replacement in some patients with uterine inversion. Prostin-15M serves to minimize bleeding and to maintain uterine position after replacement.
