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]
