Incarceration of bowel through opening of a 5-mm port.

An 85-year-old woman presented with genital prolapse (rectocele and cystocele) with stress urinary incontinence. Three days after laparoscopic promonto fixation, bowel became incarcerated in the opening of a 5-mm port site. This clinical case forces us to reconsider the harmlessness of 5-mm ports. We recommend making sure that their openings are well closed.
