Abstract

Prolapse of bladder through vesico-vaginal fistula is quite a rare urological problem. A 38-year-old woman was admitted to the Woo Sok University Hospital with a baby head sized round mass attached to the vagina. Patient had a prolapse of uterus after having her second child birth about 10 years ago and cauterization with corrosives for the treatment of prolapse of uterus was undergone for two times. About one year prior to the admission, the prolapse of uterus recurred and cauterization with corrosives was tried again, resulting vesico-vaginal fistula through which the bladder was everted and prolapsed. Under the general anesthesia, the everted and prolapsed bladder was reduced manually in normal position and vesico-vaginal fistulectomy was performed with good result.
