Evisceración transvaginal post-histerectomía radical y radioterapia adyuvante

Abstract

Transvaginal evisceration is a rare situation, with few cases reported in the international literature. This situation normally occurs in postmenopausal women and is associated with previous vaginal surgery, especially hysterectomy. The defect in the vaginal fundus requires emergency surgery, and even resection of the affected section of the bowel, if necessary. We report a case of vaginal evisceration of the small bowel 14 years after radical hysterectomy in a patient with endometrial cancer and vaginal vault prolapse.
