Abstract
This article focuses on the recognition of symptoms, appropriate assessment and management of the female patient with delayed presentation of iatrogenic uro-genital fistula. The term fistula describes an abnormal connection between two epithelised structures i.e. colovesical fistula (fistula between bowel and urinary bladder), anorectal fistula (fistula between rectum and perianal area), vesico-vaginal fistula (VVF). Uro-genital fistula is an abnormal (pathological) tract between urinary and genital organs.
