Large bowel injuries are unfortunate complications of laparoscopic surgery, with an incidence of 0.62 to 1.6 per 1000 laparoscopies. One-third of these injuries can be diagnosed intraoperatively, with the rest going unnoticed and revealed later. Rectal injury, a very rare complication, may be caused during pelvic dissection of dense adhesions. Injury at the rectosigmoid junction due to traction with a rectal probe is extremely rare and highly underreported. We report a case of rectal injury during total laparoscopic hysterectomy in a case with dense pelvic adhesions.
