Closure of large postradiation vesicovaginal fistula with rectus abdominis myofascial flap.
We report the case of a patient who developed a large radiation-induced vesicovaginal fistula. She also had a paucity of the omentum due to previous laparotomy and adhesions. We were able to treat this patient successfully with a pedicled myofascial rectus abdominis flap.
