Observation:

  • This report presents an extremely rare complication of rectal prolapse: evisceration of the small bowel through the prolapsed rectum.
  • This is the first documented case of this complication in the West Indies.

Findings:

  • The study describes the clinical features of rectal prolapse.
  • The surgical management strategies for small bowel evisceration secondary to rectal prolapse are discussed.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of recognizing and managing rare complications of common surgical disorders.
  • It contributes to the limited literature on managing rectal prolapse with evisceration, particularly in the Caribbean region.
