The relevance of urogenital tuberculosis remains high as well as its social significance. With the advent of anti-tuberculosis drugs it became possible to perform organ-preserving surgeries, both anti-tuberculosis chemotherapy in the preoperative period and after surgery is extremely important. Violation of this principle leads to the development of severe complications, which is demonstrated by clinical observation. Patient I., female 40 years. Diagnosis: polycavernous tuberculosis of the right kidney, cavernous tuberculosis of the left kidney, bladder tuberculosis of stage 4 (microcystis). Her anti-tuberculosis therapy was irregular and occasionally. In the general urology department a laparoscopic nephrectomy on the right and nephrostomy on the left were performed. Anti-tuberculosis therapy was discontinued, which led to the progression of renal failure and repeated attacks of pyelonephritis. In this regards she was re-operated in the Avicenna Medical Center: laparoscopic cavernotomy of the left solitary kidney and cystectomy with enterocystoplasty by Studer were performed. In the postoperative period a reservoir-uterine fistula was formed. She did not receive anti-tuberculosis therapy. The patient returned to the Avicenna Medical Center after 9 months, laparoscopic removal of the shrunken intestinal reservoir was performed with the formation of Bricker ileal conduit with a good short-term and long-term (follow-up period of 10 months) result.
Urogenital fistulas are common complication of obstetric and gynecological surgery; the most common are vesicovaginal fistulas. Vesicouterine fistulas are rare, which explains the difficulties in diagnosis and treatment. The literature review and own clinical case presented in article. A 43-years-old female patient was consulted with complaint of urinary leakage from vagina, which appeared 1 month after the cesarean section and vesicouterine fistula has been diagnosed. Successful laparoscopic treatment of vesicouterine fistula was performed at the Avicenna Medical Center after 3 months. The urethral catheter was removed 7 days after surgery. At control examination after 1, 3 and 6 months, ultrasound examination of the pelvic organs confirmed the consistency of the scar on the uterus. Urination remained free and painless, the patient did not notice urine leakage. This clinical observation shows the possibility of treating a vesicouterine fistula with a laparoscopic approach with a good result and the possibility of early rehabilitation.
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.
