title: Vesicouterine fistula after cesarean section. A case report.
abstract: A 27-year-old woman, gravida 3, para 2002, underwent repeat cesarean section and inadvertent cystotomy, with subsequent development of a vesicouterine fistula. The fistula did not resolve with prolonged bladder catheterization and required total abdominal hysterectomy with resection of the fistula tract and primary closure for definitive treatment.
