[Vesicorectal fistula due to pelvic foreign body: a case report].
We report a case of vesicorectal fistula caused by a pelvic foreign body. An 84-year-old woman presented with urinary tract infection and bladder stone. During transurethral lithotripsy, a foreign body was observed in the stone. CT and colonoscopy revealed a vesicorectal fistula due to a foreign body. After continuous bladder washout over a period of one month, resection of the foreign body, fistulectomy, and sigmoidostomy were performed. The foreign body was suspected to be a medical mesh from a sling operation. After the surgery, the patient's course was uneventful. This is the second patient with vesicointestinal fistula due to a foreign body in the Japanese literature.
