Abstract
Anterior abdominal wall hernia following abdominal surgeries such as caesarean sections are not uncommon. Yet, herniation of a gravid uterus into these hernias is even rarer. Although reducible initially, the herniation of pregnant uterus may be complicated by incarceration and subsequent strangulation within the hernial sac, late in the third trimester of pregnancy. We present here a case of herniation of gravid uterus into the anterior abdominal wall in the 33rd week of pregnancy and was successfully operated with a live neonate of 1.9 kg and the hernioplasty performed simultaneously
