Abstract
Laparoscopically performed supracervical hysterectomy is becoming more widely accepted around the world. The objective of this case report is to describe a rare urinary tract complication associated with this operation.
Case report.
Referral practice for endoscopic surgery.
A 35-year-old nulliparous woman with recurrent endometriosis and chronic pelvic pain.
A laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oöphorectomy.
The patient developed a vesico-cervical fistula 3 weeks postoperatively. After urological consultation, this was treated successfully via minilaparotomy, transvesical excision, and repair of the fistula within 36 h of diagnosis.
Urinary tract fistulas can occur following laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy. If they are diagnosed immediately and properly managed, standard repair can be successful and morbidity can be minimized.
