Abstract

Vaginal evisceration is rare and most commonly found in postmenopausal women. We report the case of a postmenopausal woman due to ruptured enterocele. Surgical treatment was done through a midline laparotomy and consisted of bowel resection with primary anastomosis and vaginal vault suture repair. Risk factors for this rare clinical entity are discussed along with the different therapeutic options.
