[Fallopian tube prolapse after hysterectomy].
Fallopian tube prolapse is a rare complication of hysterectomy, characterized by vaginal discharge, abdominal pain, pelvic inflammatory disease and vaginal bleeding. The diagnosis is often delayed, and is usually done after an histopathological examination identifies fallopian tube on biopsy. The advised treatment is surgical resection, which can be done through vaginal incision, abdominally or by laparoscopy. We report a case of fallopian tube prolapse after vaginal hysterectomy in 47-year-old patient in whom the prolapsed-tube was successfully resected vaginally, and review the presentation and surgical methods to correct this rare complication.
