ABSTRACT

Post partum period is the duration of 6 weeks following delivery of the child along with placenta. The most important physio-anatomical change that occurs during this period is the uterine involution where uterus reverts back from its huge pregnant state to normal non pregnant state. Various sonographic studies are useful for studying this process with better understanding. As maternal death during this period is one of the major issue of concern, its detail comprehension may play pivotal role to confine obscure ailments. Present study is a retrospective systematic review which includes the clinical studies based on various sonographic diagnostic techniques to study the normal physiological process of uterine involution during early puerperium and comparing the results in normal vaginal and cesarean deliveries. Potentially eligible studies were searched according to the PRISMA guidelines. Outcomes of four selected clinical studies are presented and compared to mitigate the ambiguous findings. Keywords: Puerperium, Uterine involution, Ultrasound, Vaginal delivery, Cesarean delivery
