Abstract
Experience in the management of difficult vesicovaginal and urethrovaginal fistulas is presented. The fistulas were secondary to radiation damage and extensive local fibrosis owing to previous attempts of surgical repair. Satisfactory surgical repair of the fistulas was obtained by interposition of viable gracilis muscle and labial fibrofatty tissue at the repair site. The patients were followed for 1 to 2 yr postoperatively.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
