title: [Repair of vesico-vaginal fistulas using the Chassar Moir method].
abstract: Besides the relatively frequent perioperative and postoperative dysfunctions of micturition, urogenital fistulae are the most frequent complication occurring after surgical gynaecologic interventions. Vesico-vaginal fistulae are the most common communication between efferent urinary passages and genital tract. From 1969 to 1986, 36 women developed a vesico-vaginal fistula after abdominal or vaginal surgery and were operated on again. Upon admission, all 36 patients were subject to surgical closure of the vesico-vaginal fistula according to the vaginal method of Chassar Moir. In 35 women (97.2%) continence was re-established by adequate closure.
