Abstract

Vesicouterine fistula is one of the less common acquired urogenital fistula and a rare event in obstetrics. We report a case which occurred after a vaginal delivery followed by manual removal of placenta in a woman who had a previous cesarean section. The fistula was successfully repaired 5 weeks after delivery.
