Background: Retained placenta is a significant cause of maternal mortality and morbidity throughout the developing world. 'Though, intestinal injury may arise as a complication of induced abortion following instrumentation through the genital tract, the involvement of the large bowel in complicated manual removal of placenta is a very rare occurrence
Case Report: We present the case of a 28 year-old Para 3+0, 3 alive woman who had attempted manual removal of placenta in a basic emergency obstetric care facility that resulted in lower uterine segment rupture with evisceration of bowels through the laceration outside the introitus. She subsequently had right hemi- colectomy with ileo-transverse anastomosis and repair of uterine rupture with bilateral tubal ligation.
