Abstract:
Vesicovaginal fistulae (VVF) and ureteric reimplantation are two rare complications of obstetric surgery. VVF can be repaired via a vaginal approach utilizing Martius fat pad interposition to minimize urethral complications and improve surgical outcomes, while ureteric reimplantation into the bladder classically necessitates an abdominal or laparoscopic approach. We present a new technique of ureteric reimplantation via vaginal approach with concomitant repair of a 5-cm VVF in a 25-year-old woman after an emergency caesarean section with bladder injury and ureteric transection. Good drainage was confirmed on MAG3 and successful vaginal birth (albeit preterm) was subsequently achieved.

Routes of Persuasion
Drug Delivery: Enteral Route
Drug Delivery: Parenteral Route
There are three primary parenteral routes: intravenous (IV), intramuscular (IM), and subcutaneous (SC). The IV route introduces the drug directly into the bloodstream, ensuring immediate action. The IM route...
Routes of Drug Administration: Parenteral
The intravenous route (IV) of drug administration can be further categorized into two types. The bolus injection administers the entire dose rapidly, while an intravenous infusion slowly delivers smaller doses steadily.
The IV route is often...
Routes of Drug Administration: Overview
Enteral administration refers to drugs absorbed through the gastrointestinal tract. They can be swallowed (perorally), placed under the tongue (sublingually), or on the inner lining of the cheeks (buccally). Perorally administered drugs take time to be absorbed and have a slower onset of action. The rectal route is another form of enteral administration, which allows for...
Drug Delivery: Miscellaneous Routes
Oral inhalation and nasal sprays swiftly transfer drugs across the respiratory epithelium's mucosal layer. Inhaled glucocorticoids and bronchodilators directly target lung conditions such as asthma, while fluticasone nasal spray mitigates allergic rhinitis.
Transdermal patches transport drugs...
