Typically occurring in older women, they are most commonly due to transcervical mass expulsion. Diagnosis is often difficult because of vague symptomatology, presentation, and unknown course of the pathology. Surgical correction is often necessary in the presence of active bleeding or prolapse severity causing urinary retention. This case of nonpuerperal inversion presented to the emergency department with vaginal bleeding and mass protrusion. The examination was consistent with POPQ stage IV prolapse and uterine inversion secondary to cervical expulsion of multiple uterine fibroids. Because of full cervical dilation and concerns of ureteral injury with an extirpative procedure, vaginal myomectomy was performed with concomitant robotic uterosacral ligament hysteropexy. The operative procedure and postoperative course were uncomplicated, and discharge occurred on post-op day 1. She remained asymptomatic at the 6-month follow-up encounter. Though uterine preservation has been performed in cases of uterine inversion to maintain fertility, there are no reported cases of concomitant hysteropexy being completed for correction of POPQ stage IV prolapse simultaneously encountered. Additionally, the novel robotic approach has not been documented.

One month after the C-section, she underwent a diagnostic hysteroscopy to exclude postoperative intrauterine adhesions. Afterwards, she complained of pelvic pain, persistent metrorrhagia, and significant weight loss during 2 months. She consulted the emergency unit several times, and lastly endometritis was diagnosed. She was treated with antibiotic therapy for 7 days, without significant clinical improvement. She presented at our institution 48 hours after a carbuncle had appeared in her right iliac fossa.

The clinical postoperative evolution was favorable. Symptoms of UCF can be very unspecific. To avoid medical wandering and improve the patient's care, UCF should be in the differential diagnostic of abdominal pain after a pelvic surgery.

The patient presented with severe abdominal pain, fever, and chills. Imaging showed a right ovarian vein thrombosis.
