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.

Abstract
Öz
Vesikouterin fistül, mesane ile uterus arasında oluşmaktadır. Ürogenital fistüllerin %1-4’ünü oluşturan nadir bir durumdur. Son yıllarda sezaryen ameliyatlarının artmasıyla birlikte prevalansında artış gözlenmiştir. Tanıda ultrasonografi, sistoskopi, sistografi, histerosalpingografi, bilgisayarlı tomografi ve manyetik rezonans görüntüleme yöntemleri kullanılmaktadır. Tedavi seçenekleri konservatif, medikal ve cerrahi yöntemleri içermektedir. Cerrahi tedavi kesin çözüm olarak kabul edilmektedir. Bu makalede, üçüncü sezaryen operasyonu sonrası uterovezikal fistül gelişen bir olgu, cerrahi teknikle tedavi edildi ve literatürler değerlendirilerek sunuldu.
