Abstract

Obstetric vesicovaginal fistula is nowadays rare in developed countries. We are reporting two cases of patients with obstetric vesicovaginal fistula that occurred after operative vaginal deliveries performed in a French hospital. Early postpartum symptoms were vaginal urine leakage and infectious syndrome. The fistula has been cured by vaginal surgery one case and combined (laparotomy and vagina surgery) in the other case. Patients were totally healed a few months following the surgery.
