[Surgical correction of vesicovaginal fistulas with the Chassar Moir method].
Besides a relatively high frequency of perioperative and postoperative dysfunctions of micturition, urogenital fistulae are the most frequent complication occurring after surgical gynaecological interventions. Vesico-vaginal fistulae are the most common communication between the efferent urinary passages and the genital tract. From 1967 to 1987, 42 women who had developed a vesico-vaginal fistula after abdominal or vaginal surgery or irradiation were operated on again. Upon admission, all 42 patients were subjected to surgical closure of the vesico-vaginal fistula according to the vaginal method of Chassar Moir. In 41 women (97.6%) continence was re-established by adequate closure.
