Illegally induced abortions remain a significant public health issue in developing countries. We report a case that was complicated by a vesicovaginal fistula with intravesical calcification of the piece of wood used to perform the illegal abortion. A -vesical approach allowed extraction of the calcified foreign body and closure of the vesicovaginal fistula. The postoperative course was uneventful.

Article Synopsis
  • Vesicovaginal fistula (VVF) is a serious complication that can arise after surgeries like hysterectomy, often leading to other issues such as pelvic organ prolapse and a decrease in quality of life for women.
  • A case study of a 53-year-old woman with VVF and cystocele demonstrates successful treatment through a single-step transvaginal surgery, which improved her urinary incontinence and overall wellbeing.
  • VVF and cystocele post-hysterectomy are uncommon but can significantly affect women's health; this case highlights that one-time surgical intervention can be an effective solution, minimizing the need for multiple treatments.
