Summary A 40‐year‐old postmenopausal female with complete uterine prolapse received an avulsion injury when her sari was caught in the fast‐moving belt of a flour mill machine. Part of the prolapsed anterior vaginal wall with underlying bladder wall was torn off. Primary repair together with vaginal hysterectomy led to an uneventful recovery.
