Neo-bladder vaginal fistula : an unusual complications after orthotopic urinary diversion

Abstract EN

Development of neo-bladder vaginal fistula is not an unknown complication after cystectomy and orthotopic urinary diversion in females.

Compared to native bladder, the wall of the neo-bladder is much thinner that may render it vulnerable to fistulization.

Injury to the vagina during cystectomy is the most important predisposing factor.

Herein, we present a case of neo-bladder vaginal fistula and discuss the potential surgical and clinical factors contributing to its occurrence as well as the treatment options available.
