Abstract

A 50-year-old woman came to the emergency department with vaginal evisceration that occurred 7 months after a total laparoscopic radical hysterectomy. Vaginal evisceration was repaired by a laparoscopic-vaginal approach without a laparotomy. This is the first report of vaginal evisceration after a total laparoscopic radical hysterectomy.
