S. Dessole et al., Interposition of fallopian salpinges in the treatment of sigmoidovaginal fistula, secondary to vaginal hysterectomy with failure of previous repair, ARCH GYN OB, 264(1), 2000, pp. 45-46
A 50-year-old woman, para 4, suffering from uterine fibromatosis and recurr
ent menometrorrhagia, underwent vaginal hysterectomy with preservation of s
alpinges. About 15 days after surgery, hydrosoluble contrast enema showed s
igmoidovaginal fistula; after about two months there was failure of surgery
repair by the rectal endoscopic technique. A month later, we performed rep
air surgery by the abdominal approach interposing fallopian salpinges betwe
en the sigmoid and the vagina. About two months later, a enema showed absen
ce of fistula and today the women is free from disease.
