Background And Objectives: Postoperative pneumoperitoneum following laparoscopic surgery is self-limited, typically resolving within days.

Methods: We analyzed the case of a 48-y-old woman who presented with acute abdominal pain 48 d after a total laparoscopic hysterectomy. Imaging studies revealed free air under the diaphragm suggesting a perforated viscus.
