[Use of fibrin glue in vesico-vaginal fistulas after gynecologic treatment]

Zentralbl Gynakol. 1996;118(7):430-2.
[Article in German]

Abstract

Vesicovaginal fistulas develop as an early complication following gynaecological operations or as a late complication following irradiation. The waiting period for the surgical closure of the fistula implies social and psychic problems for patients and attending physicians. Three cases report on the exclusive fibrin sealing for closing vesicovaginal fistulas after which continence was re-established.
