Abstract

Fistula repair in the perineal region represents a major challenge for surgeons. It is important for the medical community to facilitate and disclose these techniques. The aim of this article was to show a stepwise approach for a direct repair and use of a Martius flap for a vesicovaginal fistula. We show a single case performed in a patient who presented with a vesicovaginal fistula diagnosed after surgery, which did not respond to conservative management. The procedure consists of the following steps: intraoperative cystoscopy, anatomical direct repair of the fistulous tract between the bladder and vagina, and modified Martius flap. Martius flap is a repair technique used for complex fistula in the perineal region. It is a simple, safe, and reproducible procedure with good long-term functional and esthetic results.
