[Iatrogenic ureteral injury and the development of vesico-vaginal fistula: a complication of total hysterectomy for multiple myoma uteri].

A 42-year-old woman underwent total hysterectomy for multiple myoma uteri. Postoperatively the patient complained of lower abdominal pain and total incontinence. She had also developed left-sided hydronephrosis. Left nephrostomy was constructed and necessary investigations were done. It was diagnosed as a case of left ureteral injury with vesico-vaginal fistula. Repair of vesico-vaginal fistula and reimplantation of the left ureter were performed in a single setting three months after the injury. Subsequently, the nephrostomy was removed. Hydronephrosis was improved with an excellent outcome of fistula repair.
