ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Vaginal cuff dehiscence with evisceration was defined as expulsion of intraperitoneal organs through the separated incision. Prolapsed epiploica of the colon is a rare complication after hysterectomy. The most common organ to prolapsed out from the dehiscence vaginal cuff is terminal ileum. We reported the first known case of prolapsed epiploica of the colon after robotic hysterectomy.

Vaginal tumor resection and primary closure were performed successfully without complications.
