Abstract: Iatrogenic lesions of the small and large intestine as a result of gynaecological surgeries are accompanied
with severe morbidity and mortality. Delayed diagnosis results in septic shock and multiorgan failure. The
authors describe the clinical course of an iatrogenic sigmoid colon lesion on a 70-year-old patient with
ovarian malignancy. They present an overview of the incidence, risk factors, diagnosis and treatment of
these complications. Forensic consequences of iatrogenic intestinal lesions have an impact on the
professional life of the surgeon. The best option is the prevention of these complications, which includes
the experience of the surgeon and the use of the guidelines.
Keywords:  Iatrogenic bowel injuries, morbidity, mortality, forensic consequences
