| Summary: | The evisceration of abdominal organs through the vagina is a rare complication of hysterectomy. The aim of this publication is to report an exceedingly rare event of spontaneous transvaginal sigmoid colon
herniation in postmenopausal women. A 74-year-old woman after hysterectomy twenty-seven years ago and spontaneous transvaginal sigmoid colon herniation is presented. What makes this case original and
interesting is the type of herniated abdominal organ, lack of precipitating factor and very long period after abdominal hysterectomy. The presented case also demonstrates the options of laparotomy as an operative approach in the management of vaginal herniation. |
