Abstract
A 68-year old female underwent laparoscopic vaginal hysterectomy for uterine wall perforation, following the removal of an intrauterine contraceptive device (IUD). The patient entered our hospital complaining of persistent genital bleeding, lower abdominal pain and urinary incontinence. She was diagnosed with a vesicovaginal fistula. The diameter of the fistula was over 3 cm and extended from the trigone to the internal urethral orifice, complicating the right distal ureteral obstruction. Therefore, curative surgery required a subtotal cystectomy and substitution cystoplasty due to severe urothelial changes, hydronephrosis and poor bladder compliance. An ileal neobladder (modified Studer's method) was successfully created and the postopertive course was uneventful. Although minor urinary incontinence persists, she can void through the urethra which has improved her quality of life.
