Sixty-seven cases of lower urinary tract genital fistulas were seen during the last 7 years. Of the 67 cases 45 (67 per cent) followed total hysterectomy, of which 43 were operated upon transvaginally using the Latzko technique of partial colpocleisis. There were 40 primary cures (93 per cent) and 3 failures (7 per cent), each of which was cured by a secondary Latzko operation. The advantages of the operation are discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
