An enterocele or enterocoele is a protrusion of the small intestines and peritoneum into the vaginal canal.[1] It may be treated transvaginally[2] or by laparoscopy.

An enterocele may also obstruct the rectum, leading to symptoms of obstructed defecation.[3] Enteroceles can form after treatment for gynegological cancers.[4]
