Unlabelled: The aim of the study is to determine and estimate the absolute values of the distance between the symphysis pubis and the uterine fundus (S-FD) and the rate of uterine involution according to the method of delivery.

Material: 150 women included in this prospective study are divided into 3 groups of 50 women with vaginal delivery, caesarean section and re-caesarean section. The absolute values of the distance S-FD and the rate of uterine involution were determined in cm and estimated according to their parity and the gestational age.

Using morhometric autoradiographic and cytophotometric methods, the author examined the changes in the size of the nucleus, and of the cell as well as of the ratio: surface of the nucleus (surface of the cytoplasma in sarcoma-37 ascitic variant in accordance with their position in the generative cycle. The cells with small sizes of the nucleus 30 microns 2 were not labelled with 3H-thymidine and were found mainly in Gi-phase of the cycle. The labelled cells with nuclear sizes of 40-60 microns 2 were at the S-phase of the cycle.
