Vaginal Evisceration After Abdominal Hysterectomy: A Case Report

Abstract

Vaginal cuff dehiscence (VCD) is an extremely rare complication after a hysterectomy, with possible lifethreatening consequences. Multiple cases of pelvic organ evisceration through the vaginal cuff have been reported, most frequently precipitated by sexual intercourse. Surgeons should be suspicious of clinical signs of VCD postoperatively, as any intervention should be prompt. Patients at high-risk patients of developing vaginal cuff dehiscence should be advised to refrain from straining exercises for longer periods of time. Herein, we present the case of a 46-year-old with this complication.
