  • Title: [A rare complication of vaginal hysterectomy: vaginal evisceration. Apropos of a case of recurrent evisceration].
    Author: Anceau H, Sava G, Vaxman F, Grenier JF.
    Journal: J Chir (Paris); 1984 Nov; 121(11):655-7. PubMed ID: 6526859.
    Abstract:
    A patient developed repeated vaginal eviscerations after vaginal hysterectomy. This is a rare complication, only 21 cases having been reported in the literature. The present case was a 61 year old woman with post-vaginal hysterectomy eviscerations 8 and 21 months after the operation. Reduction of the herniated loop and suturing of the ununited vaginal stump is generally a simple procedure, but the perineal reconstruction necessary to prevent recurrence raises problems that are discussed in detail.
