Area of Science:

  • Urogynecology
  • Surgical complications

Background:

  • Uterovesical fistulas are uncommon urogenital tract complications.
  • The incidence is rising due to increased rates of repeated cesarean sections.

Observation:

  • A 31-year-old woman developed symptoms post-cesarean section, including urinary incontinence, cyclic hematuria (menouria), and recurrent cystitis.
  • Initial examinations were inconclusive; diagnosis was confirmed via cystoscopy and cystography revealing a 2 cm uterovesical fistula.

Findings:

  • Transperitoneal closure of the uterovesical fistula was successfully performed.
  • No omental interposition was required for the closure.

Implications:

  • Expect an increase in uterovesical fistula cases correlating with rising cesarean section rates.
