Abstract
Pelvic abscesses occurring after gynecologic pelvic surgery are uncommon. We describe the case of a woman who, after undergoing such a procedure, was found to have pelvic abscesses infected with methicillin-resistant Staphyloccocus aureus. The purpose of this report is to raise awareness of a life-threatening complication of gynecologic pelvic surgery.
