Clinical classification of vesicouterine fistula.

UNLABELLED

OBJECTIVE AND METHODSs: The aim of this paper is to propose a classification of vesicouterine fistula based on the routes of menstrual flow.

RESULTS

Three types of the fistula are distinguished: type I - with menouria; type II - with dual flow via both the bladder and vagina; and type III - with normal vaginal menses.

CONCLUSIONS

There is relevance of such division to both diagnosis and treatment. The simplicity and clinical utility of this classification warrant its widespread use.
