A premenopausal patient in her late forties presented with a 15-year history of urinary incontinence starting shortly after a caesarean section performed for her fourth delivery and more recently associated episodic light haematuria and passage of clots per vagina. The haematuria was intermittent over several months and associated with per-vaginal bleeding. She had symptomatic anaemia. Flexible cystoscopy and MRI showed a vesicouterine fistula. She underwent a robotic-assisted hysterectomy and multi-layered repair of the bladder with omental interposition. She remained in the hospital for 4 days, though recovered well and underwent catheter removal at 14 days following a normal cystogram. At 3 months, she was well with no incontinence or urinary symptoms. This case demonstrates the need for vigilance in assessing patients with persistent incontinence, particularly in the context of prior caesarean section. It highlights the feasibility of robotic surgery for correcting these defects in a society where minimally invasive surgery is becoming the norm, and cosmesis is a priority for patients.
一位 40 多岁的绝经前患者,因第四次分娩行剖宫产术后不久出现尿失禁病史 15 年,近期出现间歇性轻度血尿和阴道血块排出。血尿持续数月,伴有阴道出血。患者出现症状性贫血。软性膀胱镜检查和 MRI 显示膀胱子宫瘘。患者行机器人辅助子宫切除术和网膜间置多层膀胱修补术。她在医院住了 4 天,恢复良好,在正常膀胱造影后 14 天拔除导尿管。3 个月时,她恢复良好,无尿失禁或尿路症状。本病例表明,对于持续性尿失禁患者,尤其是有剖宫产史的患者,需要保持警惕。它突出了机器人手术在微创外科日益成为常规、美容是患者首要关注点的社会中纠正这些缺陷的可行性。
