An enterocele is a protrusion of the small intestines and peritoneum into the vaginal canal.[1] It may be treated transvaginally[2] or by laparoscopy.
An enterocele may also obstruct the rectum, leading to symptoms of obstructed defecation.[3] Enteroceles can form after treatment for gynecological cancers.[4]
