MANY unusual problems confront the surgeon working overseas. Solutions may not be easy to obtain from the literature available locally. In Britain, with excellent obstetric care universally available, chronic puerperal inversion of the uterus is hardly ever seen nowadays, but elsewhere one may occasionally have to treat this condition. British authors quote an incidence of about i in 30,000 deliveries (Strachan, I947), though in a recent series of Ioo,ooo deliveries only one case could be found (Mackinlay, 1958).
