Transurethral bladder eversion, a rare condition, can occur with uterovaginal prolapse. This case demonstrates successful surgical treatment of full-thickness bladder eversion via a vaginal approach.

Area of Science:

Urology
Gynecology
Pelvic reconstructive surgery

Background:

Transurethral bladder eversion is an uncommon clinical presentation.
Uterovaginal prolapse is a known condition, particularly in postmenopausal women.

Observation:

A postmenopausal patient with a history of uterovaginal prolapse developed bladder eversion.
Examination revealed full-thickness transurethral bladder eversion and complete uterine procidentia.

Findings:

Initial management involved temporary prolapse reduction due to patient instability.
Definitive surgical reconstruction was successfully achieved through a vaginal approach.

Implications:

This case highlights a rare concurrent presentation of bladder eversion and uterovaginal prolapse.
