Abstract

Recently vesicovaginal fistula is rare, but infrequently is found after pelvic surgery especially total hysterectomy for benign gynecologic diseases. In general, the correction of vesicovaginal fistula has been performed 3-4 months after the diagnosis. Recently, earlier correction of fistula was challenged. It has been reported that Latzko operation is a simple effective method for easy correction of vesicovaginal fistula in early correction. We experienced two successful cases of Latzko operation, which were performed as early as day 25 and 31 postoperatively.
