Plain-English summary
Two 1-year-old female cats were brought to the vet with a mass sticking out of their vaginas after giving birth. The vets diagnosed them with unilateral uterine prolapse, which means part of the uterus had slipped out of place. In both cases, the prolapse happened shortly after they delivered their kittens. The treatment involved a surgery called ovariohysterectomy, where the uterus was removed after the prolapsed tissue was put back in place. Both cats were treated successfully and recovered well.

Depending on clinical and ultrasonographic findings, unilateral uterine prolapse was diagnosed in both of the cats. Uterine prolapse was occured just after the last delivery in Case 1, and was occured 3 days after parturition in Case 2. Ovariohysterectomy was performed following manual reduction and intra-abdominal retraction of the prolapsed tissue in both cats.
