Abstract

A rare case of ureterouterine fistula caused by a complication of cesarean section after a normal pregnancy is reported. The patient presented with a urinous seeping into the vagina, and the fistula was diagnosed preoperatively on urography and computerized tomography. Treatment consisted of a 2-stage surgical approach, including percutaneous nephrostomy and subsequent ureteral reimplantation.
