Vesicovaginal fistula treated with fibrin glue.
We report here a case of vesicovaginal fistula, following radiation therapy and intensive local chemotherapy for recurrent endometrial cancer of the vaginal stump, which was ameliorated with fibrin glue. The procedure temporarily postponed urinary diversion until the recurrence of irreparable fistula more than 4 years after the development of the first vesicovaginal fistula.
