Bladder injury with subsequent intra-operative laparoscopic repair during a laparoscopic subtotal hysterectomy is reported. The injury was recognised intra-operatively. A successful laparoscopic repair was undertaken using intra-corporeal sutures. The case is highlighted to report potential complications of laparoscopic surgery and their management options. The possible mechanisms of injury, prevention and the principles of management are discussed.
