[Peritoneovaginal fistula after vaginal hysterectomy]

Peritoneovaginal fistula is a rare complication of hysterectomy. A patient with pelvic pain and vaginal discharge due to peritoneovaginal fistula, 6 months after hysterectomy, is presented. The laparoscopic approach with an intravaginal blue-test, provided the evidence of the peritoneovaginal fistula. The transvaginal approach offered a surgical closure of the fistula and a resolution of the symptoms. In addition, we have reviewed the literature, the symptoms, the differential diagnosis and the management of this problem.
