Late sequelae of hysterectomy and diverticulosis: colovaginal fistulae.
Three cases of colovaginal fistulae were recently diagnosed and treated. Colovaginal fistulae are not commonly reported and their diagnosis may be difficult to make. Our cases presented with a complaint of vaginal discharge, history of hysterectomy, and diagnosis of diverticulosis. The diagnosis and treatment of colovaginal fistulae are discussed.
