title: [The musculo-fascial graft from the elevator muscle of the anus. Importance for plastic surgery of the bladder in the treatment of obstetric vesico-vaginal fistulas].
abstract: The levator ano-muscle and fascia are studied by females pelvis. The muscle is composed of three groups of fibres: the puborectalis muscle, the ilococcygeus and the ischiococcygeus muscles. The muscular fascial graft is dissected from the superior fibers of puborectalis muscle and placed in front of the lateral face of the bladder. In this regard, the anatomical and clinical knowledges are provided and morphometric and morphologic studies proposed this graft as the inter-vesico-vaginal plasty in treatment of vesico-vaginal fistulae.
