| Summary: | Spontaneous transvaginal bowel evisceration is a rare surgical emergency with only a few cases reported and particularly postmenopausal,
posthysterectomy, multiparous elderly women are considered to be at higher risk for development of bowel evisceration. It is difficult to
manage such a patient for any surgeon and poses significant challenges especially intraoperatively. Here, we report a case of vaginal
vault rupture with small bowel evisceration through the vagina in a known case of uterine prolapse and highlight the risk factors, clinical
presentation, and treatment options for this rare surgical emergency. |
