    <abstract locale="en_US">Transvaginal evisceration is a rare condition characterized by the externalization of abdominal viscera through the vagina. Menopause and hysterectomy are the primary risk factors. A postmenopausal woman presented to the emergency department with evisceration of the small intestine through the vagina three hours post-coitus. She had a history of laparoscopic hysterectomy performed three years prior. The patient underwent prompt laparotomic repair of the vaginal cuff. The diagnosis of transvaginal evisceration is primarily clinical, and immediate treatment aims to maintain intestinal viability and repair the vaginal cuff. The surgical approach is based on the surgeon&#x2019;s experience, the patient's clinical condition, and resource availability.</abstract>
