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.
