Incarcerated tubal herniation, an unusual complication of operative laparoscopy and an odd cause of pelvic pain.

Tubal herniation after laparoscopic surgery to relieve pelvic pain and adhesions was associated with long-term, chronic pelvic pain in the left lower quadrant. Laparoscopy was performed to diagnose and reduce the herniation. Review of the literature revealed no previous report of this complication.
