Nothing. The ovaries are attached in two places...one to the uterus via the uteroovarian ligament and fallopian tubes and the other to the infindibulopelvic ligament to the side of the pelvis. Sometimes if these attachments are long or stretchy, the ovaries can be seen behind the uterus on ultrasound or during surgery. It's normal.
