[Bladder flap urethroplasty for vesicovaginal fistula with urethral loss].
A new operative method termed bladder flap urethroplasty is presented in this article. With this method, a patient with traumatic vesicovaginal fistula and urethral loss was treated successfully. Postoperative follow-up for 1.5 years showed that the patient could have normal micturition with a satisfactory sphincteric function. The authors believe that the procedure is a relatively ideal method for the treatment of severe vesicovaginal fistula.
