Abstract:

Evisceration of the small bowel through a rectal perforation is rare. This is the case of a 66 year-old female presenting to the Accident and Emergency Department with transanal evisceration of her small bowel resulting from attempted digital reduction and subsequent tear of her chronically prolapsing rectum. Reduction of the prolapsed small bowel and primary repair of the rectal tear were carried out at laparotomy. The management of this case is discussed.
