Vesicouterine Fistula After Primary Repair of a Cesarean Section-Associated Bladder Injury: A Case Report

Öz

Vesicouterine fistula (VUF) is a rare type of genitourinary fistula that usually develops following obstetric and gynecological surgeries. We present the diagnostic and therapeutic management of a VUF in a 35-year-old woman with a history of four previous cesarean sections. During her fifth cesarean section, an intraoperative bladder injury occurred and was repaired primarily. Despite initial treatment, the patient developed cyclic hematuria during the postoperative period. Cystography demonstrated contrast extravasation from the bladder wall, while magnetic resonance urography revealed an approximately 15 mm defect in the anterior bladder wall with a fistulous tract extending into the endometrial cavity. Diagnostic cystoscopy confirmed the fistula orifice. Following multidisciplinary evaluation, open surgical repair was performed. Due to dense adhesions, subtotal hysterectomy was required, followed by excision of the fistulous tract and primary bladder repair. No postoperative complications occurred, and the foley catheter was removed after control cystography confirmed the absence of urinary leakage. VUF should be considered in patients presenting with cyclic hematuria after cesarean section, and successful outcomes can be achieved  with timely diagnosis and appropriate surgical management.
