Uterine torsion is a rare event, especially in the absence of pregnancy. This complication is defined as a rotation of more than 45¡ã around the long axis of the uterus and usually occurs along the transition between the body and the cervix. In two thirds of cases, the torsion is toward the right side. This event is usually caused by the presence of an abnormal condition that affects the uterus and/or the adjacent structures. Clinical manifestations may be acute or chronic, or even entirely absent, in which case the torsion is identified as an intraoperative finding. The diagnosis can only be confirmed during laparotomy. Because of vessel congestion in the broad ligament and the anterior position of the ovaries, low hysterotomy, usually performed at cesarean section, cannot be carried out in certain situations. Instead classical hysterotomy on the posterior surface of the uterus is performed.
