INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS: Chronic non-puerperal complete uterine inversion is a relatively rare condition. Abdominal Haultain's operation is the usual management. We present such a case with fundal fibroids managed by modified vaginal hysterectomy. METHODS: Preoperative computerized tomography enhanced intravenous urogram depicted normal ureters and bladder. Diluted vasopressin (10 U in 100 ml normal saline) was infiltrated at the base of the myoma and a myomectomy was performed. The fundal raw area was pierced to reach the formed space between the anterior and posterior uterine serosa. The bilateral round ligaments were clamped, cut, and ligated. Diluted vasopressin was injected into the fundal anterior uterine wall and about 1 cm was excised. Then, the bilateral utero-ovarian ligaments were clamped, cut, and ligated. In the same way another 1 cm of anterior uterine wall was excised and the bilateral uterine vessels were clamped, cut, and ligated. The rest of the uterine wall area was infiltrated with diluted vasopressin circumferentially. An incision at the vesico-cervical junction was made and the bladder pushed up. The posterior fornix area was incised and the Pouch of Douglas (POD) opened. Vesico-uterine pouch opened under finger guidance placed through POD. The rest of the anterior uterine wall was excised. Exposed bilateral cardinal-uterosacral ligament complexes (CULCs) were clamped, cut, and ligated. The remaining vaginal attachments ligated hemostatically and the vault was closed. For vault prolapse prevention, vault closure suture ends were tied with ipsilateral CULC suture end, brought outside the vagina at vault angle. RESULTS: A follow-up visit up to 1 year found no complications. CONCLUSION: This novel reverse vaginal hysterectomy combining the principles of both abdominal and vaginal hysterectomy can successfully manage chronic non-puerperal complete uterine inversion.
