Intestinal incarceration following aspiration evacuation: A case report

Abstract

Uterine perforation is a frequently overlooked complication of operative procedures. The incidence of perforation is estimated to range from 1 to 4 per 1000 during curettages for pregnancy termination. Reported complications include uterine, digestive, and vesical perforations, hemorrhage, endometritis, and secondary infertility. However, intestinal incarceration after uterine perforation remains extremely rare. We present a case of uterine perforation occurring after an aspiration curettage, complicated by digestive incarceration.
