  • Title: Rectovaginal fistula caused by retained colpotomy cup after surgery.
    Author: Kwon YS, You SK, Im KS, Kim AS.
    Journal: Clin Exp Obstet Gynecol; 2016; 43(2):271-3. PubMed ID: 27132427.
    Abstract:
    Colpotomizer instruments are commonly used in laparoscopic hysterectomy to easily manipulate the uterus. This is the case of a forgotten colpotomy cup retained in the vagina for five years, which led to a rectovaginal fistula. A 54-year-old woman without knowledge of presence of the foreign body visited with chronic abdominal pain and foul odorous discharge. Rectovaginal fistula caused by the retained forgotten colpotomy cup was found upon examination.
