A rare case: Tuba uterine evisceration from the drain site incision
Keywords:
herniation, surgery, drainage, complicationAbstract
A known but uncommon consequence of surgical drainage is herniation from the drain site. Surgery drainage may be required for preventative or therapeutic reasons. Yet, surgical drains can result in difficulties despite their advantages. These issues could arise after open or laparoscopic surgery. We present a 25-year-old female patient in whom the left tuba uterine was eviscerated through the drain site incision after cesarean section. The patient was discharged on the 3rd postoperative day after the repair with good general condition. Consideration should be given to drain site hernias as an important complication following surgical drain placement. As a result, routine intraperitoneal drainage should be minimized and possible complications should be considered.
