eMedicine - Malposition of the Uterus : Article by Christian S Pope, DO This anatomic relationship permits the fundus of the uterus to move relatively freely in the sagittal, vertical, oblique, and anteroposterior planes. Gentle but constant traction is applied to the cervix, and the uterus is slowly rotated into the normal position, preferably passing the fundus to one side or the other of the sacral promontory.

* Fundus - (Pregnancy & Parenting): Definition Fundus - the top of the uterus - the height the fundus has reached in your abdomen is a sign of how many weeks pregnant you are. Fundus -- The upper portion of the uterus between the fallopian tubes. During monthly visits, the physician or caregiver measures the height of the fundus to ensure that the fetus is growing adequately and to estimate the length of the pregnancy. en.mimi.hu /pregnancy/fundus.html   (5809 words)

Uterus - MSN Encarta The uterus consists of a body, a base or fundus, a neck or cervix, and a mouth. Cancer and fibroid tumours of the uterus are comparatively frequent, as is endometriosis, the occurrence of uterine lining outside the organ. In pregnancy the fertilized egg implants itself in the lining of the uterus, where it grows to maturity; its walls are elastic and stretch during pregnancy to hold the developing child. uk.encarta.msn.com /encyclopedia_761557039/Uterus.html   (238 words)

Uterus Protocol The uterus is best evaluated on T2 weighted images because of the uterine geometry and importance of showing the endometrium and relationship of any abnormality to the endometrium; it is essential to image the uterus in 3 planes. When endometrial carcinoma is present, a dynamic Gd FMPSPGR sequence in the sagittal (or axial to uterus) plane can help to delineate the depth of tumor invasion. Start with sagittal T2 and use this as a guide for obtaining images that are axial and coronal to the uterine fundus. www.mrprotocols.com /MRI/Pelvis/uterus.htm   (633 words)

OJHAS: 2005-1-6; Sherigar JM, Dalal AD, Patel JR. Uterine Perforation with subtotal small bowel prolapse –A rare complication of Dilatation and Curettage Perforation was noted at the fundus with loops of jejunum and ileum entering into the uterus. The important determinants of this complication are the skill of the physician and the position of the uterus with a much greater likelihood of perforation if the uterus is retroverted. In rare cases, in addition to colonic and small bowel perforations, bowel, ureter or fallopian tube may be inadvertently aspirated during abortion. www.ojhas.org /issue13/2005-1-6.htm   (633 words)

Labor Contractions - California Pacific Medical Center's Women & Infants Center These contractions cause the upper part of the uterus (fundus) to tighten and thicken while the cervix and lower portion of the uterus stretch and relax, helping the baby pass from inside the uterus and into the birth canal for delivery. Contractions are often described as a cramping or tightening sensation that starts in the back and moves around to the front in a wave-like manner. Labor contractions are the periodic tightening and relaxing of the uterine muscle, the largest muscle in a woman's body. www.cpmc.org /services/pregnancy/information/labor_contractions.html   (493 words)

Article - Obstetric emergencies Inversion of uterus Very rarely, if misapplied pressure has been used on the uterine fundus or traction on the cord of a non-separated placenta in a multiparous woman, the uterus can dimple and invert. Usually the placenta is implanted on the anterior wall of the uterus, but sometimes it is posterior when the abruption is less painful and not so severe that the mother is shocked; the fetus may still be at risk, however. Abruption of the placenta An abruption is a death threat to the fetus and a hazard to the mother. www.missingangelsbill.org /news/19990515.html   (1869 words)

Development of the urinary and reproductive organs - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The gubernaculum in the female lies in contact with the fundus of the uterus and contracts adhesions to this organ, and thus the ovary is prevented from descending below this level. In rare cases the gubernaculum may fail to contract adhesions to the uterus, and then the ovary descends through the inguinal canal into the labium majus, and under these circumstances its position resembles that of the testis. As the scrotum develops, the main portion of the lower end of the gubernaculum is carried, with the skin to which it is attached, to the bottom of this pouch; other bands are carried to the medial side of the thigh and to the perineum. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Development_of_the_urinary_and_reproductive_organs   (3280 words)

It is continued over the intestinal surface and fundus of the uterus on to its vesical surface, which it covers as far as the junction of the body and cervix uteri, and then to the bladder, forming here a second, but shallower, pouch, the vesicouterine excavation. In the female the peritoneum is reflected from the rectum over the posterior vaginal fornix to the cervix and body of the uterus, forming the rectouterine excavation ( pouch of Douglas). The appendices epiploicæ are small pouches of the peritoneum filled with fat and situated along the colon and upper part of the rectum. www.bartleby.com /107/246.html   (3280 words)

Chapter 3.1: Insertion Technique, Population Reports, Series B, Number 6 This reduces the risk of perforating the uterus, which usually occurs because the sound or IUD is inserted too deeply or at the wrong angle (7, 63, 190, 395, 437). The tube containing the IUD is inserted up to the uterine fundus (top). Insertion failures are rare—2 to 8 per 1,000 attempted insertions—and are usually due to excessive pain or to the larger size of inserter used with some types of IUDs (63). www.infoforhealth.org /pr/b6/B6chap3_1.shtml   (688 words)

It is triangular in shape, the base being formed by the internal surface of the fundus between the orifices of the uterine tubes, the apex by the internal orifice of the uterus through which the cavity of the body communicates with the canal of the cervix. In addition to the ligaments just described, there is a band named the ligamentum transversalis colli (Mackenrodt) on either side of the cervix uteri. The Canal of the Cervix ( canalis cervicis uteri) is somewhat fusiform, flattened from before backward, and broader at the middle than at either extremity. www.bartleby.com /107/268.html   (264 words)

Gray's Anatomy - Development of the Fetal Membranes and Placenta - Yahoo! Reference The placenta is usually attached near the fundus uteri, and more frequently on the posterior than on the anterior wall of the uterus. It may, however, occupy a lower position and, in rare cases, its site is close to the orificium internum uteri, which it may occlude, thus giving rise to the condition known as placenta previa. Further, there is evidence that the maternal leucocytes may migrate into the fetal blood, since leucocytes are much more numerous in the blood of the umbilical vein than in that of the umbilical arteries. messenger.yahooligans.com /reference/gray/12.html   (264 words)

BISECTION, MYOMECTOMY AND CORING IN VAGINAL HYSTERECTOMY OF LARGE UTERUS Cervix was grasped by volsellum bilaterally and the uterus was bisected in antero-posterior direction with knife with progressive reposition of volsellum till the fundus was reached and pedicles clamped. Morecellation of large fibroid was done in one case along with bisection of uterus helping in decreasing the bulk and delivery of the uterus into the vagina. Only bisection was required in 10 patients while lash technique was sufficient in 2 patients in adenomyosis of 14 weeks ize uterus (Table 4). www.bhj.org /journal/1999_4104_oct99/original_706.htm   (1400 words)

Whereas polyps and the case of hyperplasia did not alter the basalis-myometrial interface, the myomata and invasive cancer were characterized by the disruption of this interface. Polyps were invariably hyperechoic relative to the surrounding tissues and sometimes contained small cavitations. www.bioscience.org /1996/v1/f/parsons/1-5.htm   (1400 words)
