Use of full thickness patch graft in urethrovaginal fistula.
A full thickness free graft of labium minor was used to repair a large urethrovaginal fistula that could not be bridged otherwise. A successful result was obtained with relief of incontinence and a normal caliber urethra 14 months postoperatively. The question is posed as to the applicability of this technique in vesicovaginal fistulas.
