Vesicocervical fistula--a rare complication secondary to caesarean section.
We report a case of vesicocervical fistula secondary to caesarean section. This is a rare complication of caesarean section, which was not recognised intraoperatively. Diagnosis was made clinically, radiologically and endoscopically during the post-operative period. Conservative management with indwelling catheterisation for 3 weeks failed. Hence the fistula was repaired surgically by an abdominal approach.
