ABSTRACT
Spontaneous vaginal evisceration of the small bowel is a rare event. It is precipitated in the postmenopausal woman commonly by hysterectomy and in the premenopausal woman by vaginal trauma. We report a case of a 75-year-old woman presenting with a protruding mass in her vagina and associated abdominal pain. A combined laparoscopic and transvaginal method of repair is described and the advantage of using both techniques highlighted.
