title: Successful repair of a large vesicovaginal fistula with associated urethral loss using the anterior bladder flap technique.
abstract: We report the successful repair of a large circumferential vesicovaginal fistula associated with loss of two-thirds of the urethra. The use of the anterior bladder flap technique resulted in creation of an effective continence unit. To our knowledge, no such case has been reported previously.
