Abstract:
Illegally induced abortions remain a significant public health issue in developing countries. We report a case that was complicated by a vesicovaginal fistula with intravesical calcification of the piece of wood used to perform the illegal abortion. A trans-vesical approach allowed extraction of the calcified foreign body and closure of the vesicovaginal fistula. The postoperative course was uneventful.
