Vesicouterine fistula following a caesarean section: Report of a case with review of literature

Vesicouterine fistula is the least common of the fistulae involving genitourinary tract. Most common cause being iatrogenic secondary to injury during gynaecologic surgeries like caesarean section, various other causes have been documented. Though rarely reported in the literature previously there has been an increase in the incidence recently secondary to increasing number of caesarean sections. Presentation may be early or delayed and there is still controversy regarding the ideal time of repair. Here we report a case of vesicouterine fistula presenting in the immediate postoperative period following a caesarean section which was managed by an early surgical repair.
