چکیده
INTRODUCTION Vaginal cuff dehiscence (VCD) and evisceration (VCDE) are rare but rather serious complications of hysterectomy procedures. We aimed to report a case of VCDE happening eleven years after the initial surgery and review a treatment protocol of this rare complication. CASE A 68 years old Tunisian female patient In 2004, the patient underwent concomitant chemoradiation followed by total abdominal radical hysterectomy for a squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix. Eleven years later, after an abdominal thrust due to a strong cough the patient had a protrusion of the two small bowels. Patient was surgically treated following a combined approach. The follow-up did not show any sign of relapse. CONCLUSION VCDE is a rare complication of hysterectomy that carries a lot of mobimortality if not treated on time. Surgery without delay is usually a guarantee for a god outcome.
