Abstract/OtherAbstract:
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate fertility of women following surgical closure of vesicouterine fistula. STUDY DESIGN: Long-term retrospective investigation combined with a follow-up in the setting of an academic department. Operative hospital records (15,718) were reviewed for a 12-year period. RESULTS: Sixteen women with a vesicouterine fistula at reproductive age entered the study. Five pregnancies were recorded after repair, of which four resulted in a full term delivery. In comparison with the data reported to date this series showed significantly higher rates of pregnancy (31.25% vs. 9.7%; P = 0.012) and term deliveries (25% vs. 6.2%; P = 0.01). The majority of women were afraid of recurrence if pregnant again. CONCLUSIONS: Fertility after repair of vesicouterine fistula can be much better than previously described.
