  • Title: [Uretero-vesival rupture with vaginal fistula following pelvic fracture. Value of early diagnosis and emergency surgery].
    Author: Bittard H, Bernardini S, Khenifar E, Lévy T, Pradines M, Vichard P.
    Journal: J Urol (Paris); 1995; 101(3):159-62. PubMed ID: 8558034.
    Abstract:
    Traumatic fracture of the pelvis led to the rare combination of urethra and bladder rupture and fistulization into the vagina. This unusual lesion can go undiagnosed initially and must be properly identified during the emergency gynaecology and urology examination. Tissue damage involved nearly the entire length of the urethra including both the smooth and striated sphincters. Reconstructive surgery produced good anatomic and functional results.
