Vaginal evisceration after trauma unrelated to previous pelvic surgery.
BACKGROUND
Vaginal evisceration is described as extrusion of intraperitoneal contents secondary to the disruption of the vagina. It is an extremely rare emergency condition.


OBJECTIVE
To describe a very rare case of vaginal evisceration that occurred after blunt trauma in a patient with no prior pelvic surgery.


METHODS
This report describes vaginal evisceration in a 73-year-old female with no prior pelvic surgery, after blunt trauma. The patient was handled by the cooperation of gynecology and general surgery departments. An immediate surgery was performed after stabilization of the patient and no postoperative complications occurred.


CONCLUSIONS
Whatever be the treatment approach, emergency management of vaginal evisceration is critical to the preservation of a viable bowel. Repositioning of viable bowels into the abdominal cavity and appropriate surgical repair are cornerstones of the treatment.
