Background: Fallopian tube prolapse is an uncommon but reported complication after laparoscopic hysterectomy.
Case: Fallopian tube prolapse was diagnosed in a patient 6 months after undergoing a total laparoscopic hysterectomy. The presenting symptoms were midline abdominal pain, abdominal distention, and dyspareunia. A laparoscopic approach showed a portion of fallopian tube prolapsed through the vaginal cuff.
Conclusion: This case suggests that fallopian tube prolapse can occur up to 6 months after a total laparoscopic hysterectomy. Once detected, fallopian tube prolapse can be managed using a laparoscopic approach in select patients.
