The most frequent surgical intervention in obstetric practice is a caesarean section, which is associated with several short- and long-term complications. Re-laparatomy after caesarean section is one of the most distressing of these complications and the reported incidence is 0.12–0.70%. The most common indications for re-laparatomy after caesarean section are bleeding, uterine atony, eventration and haematoma in the muscles. Herein, we report a case of entrapment of the small bowel caused by improper closure of the parieatal peritoneum after a caesarean section that required re-laparatomy. Closure of the parieatal peritoneum is recommended to avoid future development of adhesions, however, stitch intervals should be properly adjusted to prevent incarceration of the small bowel. We recommend closure of the peritoneum after caesarean section, however, stitch intervals should be kept at no more than 1.5 cm to avoid entrapment of the small bowel.
