Description
Carolin Schröder and co-authors present a 2026 case report of a rare emergency three years after a hysterectomy. The complication, vaginal cuff dehiscence, is the reopening of the stitched vaginal top after uterus removal, here with small bowel spilling out. An 81-year-old woman with breast cancer on hormone-blocking and anti-HER2 therapy arrived with this acute event.
Surgeons opened her abdomen, returned the bowel, closed the cuff, and fixed her recurring pelvic prolapse in the same operation. A week later they operated again for a blocked, paralyzed bowel, but no bowel had to be removed. At twenty-one months she remained symptom-free. The authors raise, without claiming proof, whether her cancer therapy weakened tissue healing.
