Abstract

Vaginal evisceration after hysterectomy is a rare complication. Sexual intercourse is considered to be the main trigger of evisceration for premenopausal women. Vaginal evisceration occurs 2-5 months after hysterectomy. We report a case of vaginal evisceration after total laparoscopic hysterectomy, following sexual intercourse. Total laparoscopic hysterectomy may increase the risk of vaginal evisceration.
