title: Laparoscopic repair of a uterine fistula.
abstract: We report a case of fistula between the uterus and broad ligament in a 28-year-old woman after cesarean section. The patient presented with right-sided pelvic pain, which worsened during menstruation. The diagnosis was made at laparoscopy. The patient subsequently underwent successful laparoscopic repair of the fistula confirmed by hysterosalpingography 4 months after surgery.
