Vesicouterine fistula after cesarean section: A case report
Abstract
Abstract
A vesicouterine fistula is an abnormal connection between the bladder and the uterus. It is a rare condition constituting 1-4% of urogenital fistulas. Its prevalence has increased in recent years due to the rising number of cesarean sections. Ultrasonography, cystoscopy, cystography, hysterosalpingography, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging methods are used in the diagnosis. Treatment options include conservative, medical and surgical methods. Surgical treatment is considered as the definitive solution. In this article, a case of uterovesical fistula after the third cesarean section was treated with surgical technique and presented with a review of the literature.
