“…Surgical closure of VCF with interposition of omental flap has been reported [5]. However, tension free closure was done in this case without omental flap because the surrounding tissue looked good and the margin of the fistula was trimmed to ensure removal of avascular tissue that might interfere with healing.…”

“…The direct dye test and the examination under anaesthesia were therefore sufficient for diagnosis in our low-resource setup. In the management of vesi co-cutaneous fistula, others have used abdominal ultrasonography and CT cystograms [5] where the fistula was tiny and very difficult to appreciate by direct dye test alone.…”

Combined vesico-vaginal and vesico-cutaneous fistulae are exceptionally rare. We present a young woman who had combined vesico-vaginal fistula and vesico-cutaneous fistula following prolonged obstructed labour and caesarean section. The patient presented at three months of illness with total urine incontinence from the vagina and lower abdominal skin. One-stage surgical repair of both fistulae was done. The patient had a successful closure of the fistulae, regained full urinary continence, and remained continent at six months follow-up. We opine that one-stage repair of combined vesico-vaginal and vesico-cutaneous fistulae is feasible and preferred. Providers of pelvic surgery in low resource countries should be supervised and retrained accordingly, in order to prevent iatrogenic vesico-cutaneous fistula.
