title: 260 cases of juxta cervical fistula.
abstract: A review of 260 juxta cervical fistulae over a 10 year period revealed that the fistula was more common in grandmultiparous women with brim disproportion. High rectovaginal fistula was a more likely complication than vaginal stenosis. Proximity of the ureteric orifices to the fistulae may lead to post-operative anuria even when adequate care has been taken. Successful repair was achieved in 85% of the patients.
