A female newborn weighing 542 g and delivered at 27 weeks gestation presented with bilateral inguinal hernias while in the neonatal intensive care unit. Ultrasonography confirmed herniation of the uterus into the right inguinal hernia without signs of incarceration. Due to the absence of complications, she was discharged and scheduled for follow-up at the outpatient clinic. At 11 months of age, a subsequent ultrasonography showed only omental herniation, with no evidence of uterine prolapse. When she reached 1 year of age, a laparoscopic percutaneous extraperitoneal closure procedure was performed. During the surgery, it was observed that the uterus and fallopian tubes were located near the hernia orifice, but no clear prolapse was detected. The procedure concluded safely with successful high ligation. It has noted that in cases of uterine prolapse hernias, the uterus tends to recede as the child grows, which supports the decision to delay surgery for improved safety.
