Area of Science:

  • Gynecology
  • Urology
  • Surgical Case Reports

Background:

  • Vesicouterine fistulas (VUFs) represent an abnormal connection between the uterus and bladder.
  • They are primarily linked to complications from cesarean sections or vaginal deliveries post-cesarean.
  • Key symptoms include menouria (menstruation via the bladder), amenorrhea, and urinary incontinence.

Observation:

  • This report details a case of a female VUF presenting with menouria after a cesarean section.
  • The patient underwent successful surgical excision of the fistula.

Findings:

  • Spontaneous closure of VUFs is uncommon, occurring in only 5% of cases.
  • Surgical intervention demonstrated efficacy in treating this VUF case.
  • Analysis of literature supports surgical fistula excision as a viable treatment.
