Abstract

In this case report, we share our experience of complication with use of intra-abdominal polypropylene sutures. The patient presented with intestinal obstruction resulting from the herniation of small intestine through the polypropylene suture loop due to a knot placed on the uterine fundus around seven years prior during an uncomplicated low segment cesarean section with bilateral tubal ligation. An exploratory laparotomy was performed and suture material was cut to release the obstructed gut. Meticulous care needs to be taken when using suture material intra abdominally by either burying the suture material or keeping the suture short.
