description Vaginal evisceration is a rare condition where abdominal contents herniate through a vaginal wall defect. The estimated incidence is 0.032–1.2% after hysterectomy, trachelectomy or upper vaginectomy. We present a 78-year-old lady who developed vaginal evisceration 2 years after radical cystectomy and hysterectomy for bladder cancer. It is rare surgical emergency that requires prompt recognition and damage control with bowel reduction and packing. We discuss the initial management and surgical options for definitive repair.
