A 35-year-old multiparous woman underwent laparoscopic tubal sterilization without intraoperative problems. Postoperatively, she had nausea and vomiting that failed to respond to antiemetics. The cannula incision site was soaked with serosanguineous discharge. Exploration of the wound revealed evisceration of 10 cm of necrotic small bowel. Resection anastomosis was performed and the patient recovered uneventfully.
