Abstract

Vesicouterine fistula represents a rare urogenital fistula, accounting for approximately 1-4% of genitourinary fistulas. Iatrogenic reasons have been shown to be most common cause. Surgical excision is the mainstay of treatment. Less than 5% patients respond to conservative management. Authors report a case of successful conservative management of vesicouterine fistula.
