    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Gynecology
    • Surgical Innovation

    Background:

    • Youssef's syndrome, defined as menouria secondary to a vesicouterine fistula, is an uncommon clinical presentation.
    • Vesicouterine fistulas, abnormal connections between the bladder and uterus, can lead to significant patient morbidity.

    Observation:

    • A rare case of Youssef's syndrome was observed, presenting with menouria.
    • The patient exhibited a double vesicocervical fistula, a complex anatomical variation.

    Findings:

    • Surgical repair of the double vesicocervical fistula was successfully achieved using a transvaginal approach.
    • This contrasts with the commonly preferred transabdominal surgical methods for similar conditions.

    Implications:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • The transvaginal approach offers a viable alternative for treating complex vesicouterine and vesicocervical fistulas.
    • This case expands the understanding of Youssef's syndrome and surgical management options for fistulas.
