Prolapsed epiploica of the sigmoid colon after total laparoscopic hysterectomy

Abstract

Prolapsed epiploica of the sigmoid colon through the vaginal cuff is a rare finding that has never been reported after total laparoscopic hysterectomy. We encountered a case of prolapsed epiploica of the sigmoid colon in a 40-year-old female, 4 months status after total laparoscopic hysterectomy. Diagnostic laparoscopy demonstrated prolapsed epiploica of the sigmoid colon through a dehisced vaginal cuff. © 2011 by JSLS, Journal of the Society of Laparoendoscopic Surgeons.
