title: [Ileus caused by trocar sites after laparoscopic hysterectomy].
abstract: Trocar site herniation (TSH) is a rare condition after laparoscopy and may cause obstruction of the bowel. TSH may be present despite attempted fascial closure. This case report includes two simultaneous TSH in a patient who had laparoscopic hysterectomy performed. She presented with symptoms with severe abdominal pain, excessive vomiting and bloating of the abdomen. A computed tomography showed herniation of the small bowel at two previous trocar sites. The case resulted in emergency laparoscopy with decompression of the herniated bowel.
