title: Postconization cervical perforation during laparoscopic surgery.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Complications during laparoscopic surgery involving the bladder, bowel, and major vessels have been reported extensively. However, uterine manipulator-associated injuries are seldom reported.
  
  
  METHODS
  We describe herein the case of a 28-year-old female patient who underwent a laparoscopic cystectomy 5 days after cervical conization, during which the uterine manipulator perforated the anterior cul-de-sac through the cervix. Fortunately, the wound healed with conservative treatment and no adverse consequences were found.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  This case serves to highlight the potential for complications following seemingly benign maneuvers.
