Gastrocystoplasty, a wrong choice in an adult case.
A 28-year-old woman presented a huge vesico-vagino-rectal fistula after radiotherapy because of a gynecological tumour. Reconstruction consisted of a colostomy, closure of the rectal hole with a pedicled perineal skin graft, a bivalve opening of the bladder and, with the two valves coverage of the vaginal suture line, and augmentation gastrocystoplasty. The fistulas healed but the patient suffered from an intolerable burning sensation, that is why the stomach wall was removed and uretero-ileo-cutaneostomy was created. The colostomy was closed, and the patient now has a well functioning urine stoma.
