Protrusion of bowel through Introitus: A complication of uterine evacuation following abortion
Journal Title: The Indian Practitioner - Year 2015, Vol 68, Issue 4
Abstract
Background: Unsafe abortion is an important factor that contributes to maternal morbidity and mortality in the developing world. Uterine perforation and bowel injuries are the major complications after unsafe abortion. The reason for these complications is that most of the abortions are done by untrained personnel. Case: We are presenting a case report of bowel protrusion and its trauma following uterine injury, which is rare nowadays. Conclusion: To meet the unmet needs, legalisation of abortion is not sufficient, removing needless barriers to abortion is important. Availability of safer abortion facilities in rural areas, easy accessibility to these services, and training of health care providers will significantly reduce maternal morbidity and mortality.
