    Abstract:
    Uterocutaneous fistula is an extremely rare clinical condition that may be caused by postoperative or postpartum complications, such as infection or inflammation. Although fibroids and myomectomy are common clinical entities among women of reproductive age, there are very few postmyomectomy uterocutaneous fistula cases in the literature. This article presents the first reported case of a succesful pregnancy and live birth following treatment of a postmyomectomy uterocutaneous fistula. After laparoscopic adhesiolysis, a minilaparotomy was performed to excise the fistula tract completely from both the abdominal wall and the uterus. The uterine wall defect was repaired in multiple layers. The patient had a good recovery after surgery, and the uterocutaneous fistula resolved completely. Due to obliteration of both tubal ostia, the patient was referred for in vitro fertilisation treatment. She conceived after the third frozen embryo transfer procedure and gave birth to a 4.4 kg baby at full term by caesarean section.
