title: Intestinal injury in cesarean section.
abstract: A case of intestinal injury when suturing the hysterotomy during cesarean section is examined. This is a gross and accidental complication that, however, may occur even to a skillful surgeon. The intestinal overstretching and the bilateral bleeding of the hysterotomy wound are predisposing factors: then the control of the posterior uterine wall before closing the abdomen is opportune.
