Introduction. Indication for surgical drainage may be prophylactic or therapeutic. However, surgical drains may cause complications. These complications can arise either following laparoscopic or open surgery. One of the rare complications resulting from drainage includes herniation of abdominal viscera at the drain site. The most common herniated abdominal organ is the small bowel. Case report. A 75-year-old woman underwent laparoscopic hysterectomy for atypical endometrial hyperplasia. After the operation, she developed small bowel herniation in the abdominal wall at the drain site, which was confirmed by multislice computed tomography. The patient underwent emergency relaparotomy that identified drain site incarceration of an ileal loop. Following resection of the incarcerated bowel, her postoperative recovery was uneventful. Conclusion. This case presents rare causative mechanism of intestinal obstruction. The possible occurrence of hernias following surgical drainage must be kept in mind.

Early Pregnancy Failure

Early pregnancy failure is a major health problem worldwide which occurs in 15-20% of pregnancies. During evacuation, uterine perforation is a potential complication. Careful post-evacuation follow-up helps in early detection of perforation. Perforation often requires laparotomy or laparoscopy to repair the defect and evaluate for injury to adjacent organs. Our patient had pregnancy loss at 12 weeks and uterine perforation during a dilatation and curettage procedure. She had laparotomy, evacuation through the perforation site and uterine repair with good outcome.

Do So

Silicone drains are often placed in the abdominal cavity for prophylactic reasons. One complication resulting from drainage includes visceral herniation at the drain site of the abdominal wall defect An 82-year-old woman underwent a laparotorny for a large pelvic mass. After the operation, she developed small bowel incarceration, which was caused by aggressive drain extraction. Subsequent surgical treatment resulted in the patient's full recovery. This case emphasises the unusual causative mechanism of intestinal obstruction. Drains should be placed carefully in the abdominal cavity in strictly selected cases, only when it is reasonable to do so.
