Abstract:
Background Vaginal evisceration is described as extrusion of intraperitoneal contents secondary to the disruption of the vagina. It is
an extremely rare emergency condition.
Objectives To describe a very rare case of vaginal evisceration that occurred after blunt trauma in a patient with no prior pelvic surgery.
Case report This report describes vaginal evisceration in a 73-year-old female with no prior pelvic surgery, after blunt trauma. The patient
was handled by the cooperation of gynecology and general surgery departments. An immediate surgery was performed after stabilization
of the patient and no postoperative complications occurred.
Conclusion Whatever be the treatment approach, emergency management of vaginal evisceration is critical to the preservation of a viable
bowel. Repositioning of viable bowels into the abdominal cavity and appropriate surgical repair are cornerstones of the treatment.
