Szoke, B. and Kiss, D. (Dept. of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Municipal Hospital, Dunaujváros, Hungary). The use of the ultrasonic echo technique in examining the normal and pathological involution in the puerperium . Int J Gynaecol Obstet 14 : 513–516, 1976. The involution of the uterus in the puerperium was investigated after 50 normal, and 15 pathological pregnancies. By means of daily performed ultrasonic examinations the size and location of the uterus can be well determined, and the pace of the involution as well as the existing subinvolution can be diagnosed. It was found that in multiparas and in cases of uterine malformations the pace of the involution is somewhat slower, while in premature deliveries it is faster. By the help of this harmless and repeatable diagnostic technique the puerperal complications can be recognized and thus prevented.
