Summary— Nine cases of vesico-uterine fistula caused by injury to the bladder at Caesarean section or by rupture of the uterus and bladder following obstructed labour are described.
Symptoms depend on the level of the lesion, menstruation into the bladder and menouria occurring when the fistula is above the internal cervical os: whatever the level, most patients with vesico-uterine fistula present with incontinence of urine.
A transperitoneal approach appears to give better results than a transvesical repair.read more

Childbirth and Lower Urinary Tract Complications

Minimizing the urological and psychological morbidity of urinary tract fistulae from VBAC.
TL;DR: In the absence of contraindications, early repair of urinary tract fistulae diagnosed within the first few days after VBAC delivery is preferred and perioperative conditions must be optimized; urogynaecologic or urologic expertise and assistance should be considered.

Vesical fistulae into the vaginal vault1
TL;DR: Most of the fistulae were approached per vaginam, but in 37 cases the fistula was fixed high in the pelvis and abdominal repair was therefore preferred, usually by the intravesical route.
