Three-dimensional ultrasound imaging for diagnosis of urethrovaginal fistula

Lieschen H Quiroz et al. Int Urogynecol J. 2010 Aug.

Abstract

We present a novel technique for visualization of a urethrovaginal fistula. A 52-year-old patient presented with persistent urinary incontinence, after having three mid-urethral sling procedures performed within the past year. The diagnosis of a urethrovaginal fistula was made by endovaginal 3-D endovaginal ultrasound and confirmed intraoperatively. We have described a novel technique that may benefit patients with urethrovaginal fistulas that are difficult to visualize.
