Management of pelvic abscess after Le Fort colpocleisis.
We report the case of a 75-year-old woman who developed pelvic abscess following Le Fort colpocleisis. After drainage and completion of treatment with intravenous antibiotherapy, the patient returned with persistent signs of infection, which responded to outpatient gentamicin irrigation through Le Fort vaginal tunnels.
