Key Clinical Message Vaginal cuff dehiscence post‐hysterectomy is rare yet significant. Early recognition and prompt surgical intervention are crucial to prevent complications like bowel infarction. Consider second‐look laparotomy in cases of uncertain bowel viability. Abstract Vaginal cuff dehiscence (VCD) is a rare but potentially life‐threatening complication following a hysterectomy characterized by the separation of the vaginal vault. This condition, which may result in vaginal evisceration (VE), presents a significant risk of pelvic contents, particularly the small bowel, protruding into the vagina. Early diagnosis and prompt surgical intervention are paramount to prevent severe complications, including bowel infarction, obstruction, and peritonitis. Although VCD and VE are rare, they require urgent surgical management to avoid adverse outcomes. We reported a case of small bowel evisceration in a woman with a history of total abdominal hysterectomy 6 months ago. VCD and VE are very rare but life‐threatening complications of hysterectomy. Discussing the symptoms with patients who have multiple risk factors is crucial to avoid severe sequels following hysterectomy. Based on our experience, performing a second‐look laparotomy is a reliable approach to ensure the viability of the intestinal loop. However, it will likely increase the risk of infection. |
